It is a hypothetical that you chose to not want to understand. Replace phone or flatscreen TV with something more available, such as a modern midrange car - gasoline/diesel and streets were widely available in 1920.
Or the option to cross the atlantic in a day instead of 3 weeks. Etc.
The whole point is, basically everything that is widely available to the broad population today wasn't even available to the ultra wealthy back then, let alone the broad population. People just take this stuff for granted nowadays.
