Answer:
It may be difficult to tell when a story took place unless an author explicitly states it, but the presence or absence of technology can help a reader make an approximate guess as to when the story was set. If a character takes a plane ride, then the story very likely took place after World War II because commercial air travel became popular after the war. Of course, if the story mentions more recent advances like power windows or a driverless car, then it is far more recent.
