Sure, you know about all of the upcoming technological advancements. But how many of you actually know how to make anything?

Could you have a large-scale effect on history?

I would take my cell phone and film the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

That might influence some people.

Absolutely. Just think about what you could do with regards to World Wars, The Titanic, 9/11, etc. Kill Hitler before he has a chance to take power. Hell, I would move everyone inland prior to the Galveston Hurricane that wiped it out also.

I don’t need to know how to make any of it. I just need to know how to invest in it.

No, you couldn't, because history already happened. You've always gone back in time, and whatever you did has always happened.

You could go to the future and "change things" though, in theory.

Screw that, they would just stop letting you play pretty quickly.

Patent a bunch of shite. Become a patent troll.

So the communists take over Germany in the thirties, ally with Soviet Russia and roll over the rest of Europe. The problem with changing history is you won't necessarily change it for the better.

Then your battery dies and you have to wait for Steve Jobs to be born to invent the Lightning Cable. By then it just looks like a cheap edit you made on iMovie.

Depends... when? What can I bring with me?

If I get sent back to the dark ages with not much more than what I'm wearing... nah, not going to change much.
