My kid was playing the game Mafia the other day and mentioned the final scene took place in 1851. I was like "are you sure it was 1851 and not 1951?" He was like, "yeah, I think you're right."

So yeah, kids legitimately and unironically confuse the 1800s with 1900s now. So we got that going for us.
