Well, the sudden difficulty in obtaining reliable birth control would be a
notable shock.  Not to mention the fact that microwaves weren't available
in 1960 outside of the very wealthy, costing $1200 in 1960's dollars and
being the size of a conventional oven.  Probably hating on the car as
well, since the very best cars of 1960 were outsized, inefficient and
unreliable behemoths compared to the cheapest car of today. 
Telecommunications isn't going to be happy either, since long distance
calling is still pricey, and mobile phones are limited to the largest
cities and are roughly the size of a small valise.
