It's been done -- I don't recall the title, but Randall Garrett wrote
a parody of early SF (specifically of Hugo Gernsback), set in the real
world of the '60s, in which characters (and the narrator) constantly
talk about the marvels of science they daily interact with. It's in
his collection TAKEOFF!, I believe.
