Lets say you were foeced to travel back in time and live the rest of your life there, lets say 1700 A.D......what ONE modern luxury/invention would you take with you? It can be anything from your cell phone to the internet.

If I'd take internet, would I still be able to contact people of this era?

nope.

Ah. I'd still go for the internet then.

i would take a guitar and amp and invent rock'n'roll

two words......HOT SHOWER.

Surfboard or a lifetime supply of Carlsberg.

Nothing electronic, as I would only be able to use it a short time before the batteries ran out.

I guess I would take a car, you can all thank me later. By the time you are all born the automobile would have been perfected hundreds of years ago. Now you all have floating cars and the rest of Earth technology matches that of the car since they had spare time to invent new things rather than vehicles.

mmm....hot showers.....

That isn't modern, seeing as how it hasn't been invented yet.

Internet would be pointless, no websites existed back then.I would take a tv with every single movie ever made uploaded onto it

Edit: Wouldn't make sense.

I would take with me a seemingly god-like store of knowledge in my own brain. Invent whatever I needed to be comfortable.....

Manufacturing processes, chemistry (THIS right here does MUCH more for all of our "modern" technologies" than you'd think), automation, production models from all climes of industry, philosophy, history, battery technology, engergy production, mechanical engineering, current knowledge on astro- and quantum physics, and anything else that gives me my modern world.

With these knowledges, I could educate, employ, invent, and modernize the world in a much better way. I would skip over fossil fuels altogether, of course.

First, I would have to build and maintain a very large electrical source. Then I could work on producing the various materials with my production and chemical knowledges, I would then use these materials to manufacture tools and various other useful items that I could use to continue the modernization of my world. This would be in conjunction with the greatest minds I could gather. They would all be serving as my apprentices. They, intern, could further the processes independent of my own in a cascading effect. Progress would be geometric.



As you can see, knowledge is all that is needed. No items are necessary. Knowledge IS power.


One may ask, "but what about funding or all of this?" Bah! Not necessary. A quick invention of a novel yet usable item could quickly generate revenue and then there is the simple procurement of funding from the upper class and business investors of the time. Small demonstrations of useful technologies to a country would most likely endear those in power to invest in my endeavors.

"What about the largely theological driven/ruled life of the time?" BAH! Easily overcome with a sharp tongue and employment of whit. I can talk myself out of plenty of scenarios.

Knowledge isn't a luxury item or an invention

It would be easier to scare people and confuse/wow them, all in all it would be easier for me to control the world and recreate it. (Multitasking)

Also you could warn people in advance about the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

Ergo opinions come in different forms.

I am DEFINITELY a minority when it comes to this, though. I will quickly admit that.

I am a Star Wars nerd. I do not "cosplay" or collect items. I do not do that with anything I am a fan of...except electronics.

it still doesn't make it a luxury ITEM or INVENTION just cause the person is poor ,

Knowledge wasn't invented nor is it an item

Fact, not opinion.

All you have to do is look at the acting.

I think you are looking at the term "luxuary item" as always being something tangible. A luxury item can be something abstract...such as knowledge.

Yeah but I'm sure the thread maker was meaning something we could take that is an object, which knowledge is not I could be wrong but I think that is how most people would have read the question

If I was going to 1700 C.E., I'd just take a bunch of books that haven't written yet. Because I like books.

I don't need technology, especially when I'm going back to the 1700s. ermjuggler

then claim that you wrote the books yourself and you would go down as one of the greatest minds along with others such as DaVinci and Michelangelo its such a sleekit plan

Its true.

I love me the prequel. 1234

I LOVE the original trilogy...don't get me wrong. I just love the prequel even better. I rate RotJ as my favorite, though. I believe I have rated all 6 of them before.

What would be the point to bring the internet or a cell phone! anyways solar powered car

so we could scare the people into believing we were Warlocks which again would allow us to concur the world.

Oh just a book with alot of information is science, medicnie, technology.. that will allow us to build many things. Yes would lead to world domination... idk if would do that i think too many people will try and kill you , i will settle for rich genius playboy who invented everything

well i guess i can go as far as i can with the car and hope it doesn't break too easily.

so far I have seen only two feasible ideas....hot shower and rifle.

don't like the book idea?

Can you bring as much ammo as you want with a rifle?

yes, and you can always heat water from a river.

A book of food recipes might be good to. Be rich off making twinkies or donuts. msn-tongue

see you couldn't make them.

indeed. I say a 30/30 lever action rifle.

take a 12 gauge, a sniper rifle, one 20mm, cult revolver and a sub machine gun....lets party.

Originally posted by Neo Darkhalen

I say an AK47.

12 gauge and a sniper then.

really that hard to make a deep fryer aint it basically a metal pot full of hot oil?

I would say a hooked up AK because its durable and hardly malfunctions. ANyway im gonna stick with my book of knowledge and maybe u might shoot me with a gun and take my book but im not gonna think about that.

Originally posted by Lord Feron

Sunflower oil, and I doubt you could make sunflower or olive oil and then make the donut ect. without any guidence or cooking materials other then a pot.

hmm thought by then they would have oil. ahh welll forget that idea

okie dokie.

a blow up doll named Olga.
