Some news that would be completely mundane today but scary or shocking in the past.

In 1923 this would be gibberish.
I miss the niche community "sentences that would have made no sense fifteen years ago."
Like "Homestuck stans dox Twitter influencer @dril."
The idea of a thinking machine/mechanical brain would be more than enough to wow them
Yes. Realistic working computers were still a fantasy. So was solid state electronics and continuing miniaturisation.
But they might feel like plausible future space magic like flying cars.
