These questions are always fun, you don't even need to bring the laptop! One of my favourite (and slightly insane) measures of all around knowledge is what you would do if you suddenly found yourself living in the Roman empire circa 200AD (a question largely inspired by the wonderful book: Lest Darkness Fall). In this case what would you do in 1975 using only the knowledge contained in your brain. I'd probably try to jump start work on internet so that networking would be fully integrated from the start and we wouldn't have these stupid browsers.

- chad_oliver 12y agoYeah, I love that problem. If you want the maximum effect with the minimum effort, introducing the printing press would be a good move. However, technological change isn't really sufficient -- to do the most good, you'd need to have a strong grasp of economics, politics, medicine, the sciences, and (of course) most fields of technology.
