What to look for.

Correct answers:

"Big Macs": In Chapter III, Psmith speculates about what might be in a basket, dismissing "Big Macs". The Big Mac sandwich was first introduced by McDonald's in 1967, decades after the story's setting (around 1915 ).
Personal Computer: In Chapter IV, Billy Windsor's room is described as containing "a computer—nobody uses pens in New York". Personal computers did not exist in the 1910s.
Air Travel: In Chapter XII, mention is made of a "PanAm flight was slowly making its descent towards La Guardia". Pan American Airways was founded in 1927, and La Guardia Airport opened in 1939. Commercial air travel was in its infancy in 1915 and not a common sight over New York City.
Email: In Chapter XXII, Psmith offers to send Mr. Waring "an email". Email technology did not exist at the time the story is set.
