Time Travel Question
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.
