I was thinking if you go on a time travel and then decide to go back, how the hell do you do that?
If you travel 1 sec forward in time will you meet your 1 second future you? So to come back to YOUR time you had to go back EXACTLY the right time down to the billionth part of a second and it would still wouldn't be precise enough.
Bah humbug!

lol grimey
1. i would say technology in general, but that is a very broad term nowadays, since everything is basically technological. our houses and cars, computers, our culture, etc.. so if i would single out 1 thing that would mindboggle a 18th century civilian, i would say the internet and online technology, and how it is accessible at our fingertips. an infinite amount of information and data at our fingertips. if you told an 18th century person you could talk, see, and listen to someone across the globe instantly without any interruptions, they would basically not understand that concept.
2. the lack of trust we have about our neighbors. back in the 1700s, i am sure there were not such things as people robbing other people's houses, kidnapping children, vandalism, pedophiles(well there was back then, but they had a different view about it back then. lol), mass suicides, etc... it was a very carefree environment.
Now that I think about it, I change my answer in part 1 to:
1. Time travel, 'cause yeah that would pretty much fascinate anyone regardless of what time they are from.

1. i would think they would be most fascinated by music only because it has evolved so much, they would be surprised.
2. i would also think they would be scared of the people for the most part but i think they would would also freak out once they notice how much technology takes part in our daily lives.
1. skimpy clothing and the hoes that wear them
2. CGI-heavy movies, after they understand what movies are.
science and philosophy.
blow their minds with particle physics and say WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW...
and then have them listen to modern theology and be like oh...whoa...ok cool. Man life in the future is rad. show me the nuke vid again.
1. Strippers
2. Planes

| Originally posted by Marc Summers Ok, so... Someone from the 1700's somehow gets to our time. 1. What would they be most fascinated by? 2. What would they fear the most? My answers: 1. Television. I was going to pick airplanes, but flying is always in people's minds, and it's been attempted for 1000's of years. Television, I think, wouldn't even make sense to someone from the 1700's, because to them, it wouldn't seem to serve a purpose (Unless you showed them the news networks). The concept of light making a picture of humans, etc., would be mind boggling to him/her, I would think. 2. This one took a little more thinking. I think they would fear society the most. We really don't serve the same purpose as society of the 1700's did. A lot of people were farmers, who grew what they ate. it would be kind of weird for someone in the 1700's to see most of the population living in gluttony and excess. |
I don't think any of you are thinking hard enough!
