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.

Cool thread.

1. cell phones. They would be forever confused though. Hell, my grandparents still are.

2. Black society. Hell, my grandparents still are.

1) transportation. (i.e, cars that can drive the oregon trail in like 2 days)
2) the amount of growth of modern times. seriously, take someone from new york city in 1700, then bring them to modern day manhattan? they'd shit themselves.

If I was from the 1700's and landed in our times, I'd run away.

Because we're all spoiled with all we have that if we were to go back we wouldn't know what to do with ourselves.

not really that, but the whole communication process. i mean, writing a letter and waiting like a month for it to get somewhere else and then to wait for a reply?

that and disease. lots of disease (w/ no cures, atm). and indoor plumbing. not a fan of pooping in a bucket and then throwing it in the street. yeah, not a fan of that at all.
