I'm talking things like bicycles, zippers, velcro etc. Things we think of as very basic but weren't invented all that long ago.

I just picked that timeframe as a quick example... I mean, obviously if you were transported back to the early 80's, invest in Apple, Microsoft, etc.

But let's say there is no "technology" yet... what do you need/do?

A bicycle with pedals wasn't invented until the 1860s and what you would even remotely consider something close to the modern bike didn't come around until the 1890s

Start a campaign to save the duckbilled platypus just in case they are to ever go extinct in the future.
