Well its obvious isn't it. Computers! imagine all the information that would be captured. plus, the back catalogue of computer games at this point would be mind bogglingly large.Phoenix14 said:
Teh interwebs.
Instant communication turns our many scattered minds into one collective progress inducing machine!

NO it's mess up the timeline, but then the timeline isn't sacred so if I could stay there then swords to a tribe of cavemen and then I'd forge an empire one united world...also no USA is the best country on Earth because god says so clowns...actually now that I think about it I'd take the ideas of science with me so that we'd advance faster because religion wouldn't be slowing us down...or maybe I could murder Jesus; why not right, it worked for Kratos.
I really don't know what I'd do...probably travel far enough back that I became the most intelligant man on Earth...but then I'd have to learn survival skills from people who don't trust me......fuck it a camera sounds awesome.

The internet.
All so far collected knowledge of our civilazition. Imagine what a giant leap in technology we could do, and just maybe they'd steer clear of the dark age all together.

Seconded, the first Tron would be immensely amazing.orangebandguy said:
Either this, or PCB's and as many components as they desire, then they could make more things!
video camera sounds good but problematic cause your gonna need to charge the batteries sooner or later
I was going to say "toasters" just for the hell of it but this is just so much awesome. This, very much.orangebandguy said:
I'd introduce the death ray to the Japanese, so they cant ruin modern cars with their hybrids and underpowered 'trucks'
I'm pretty sure that was part of Richard Gatling's theory too when he invented the Gatling Gun! That and reducing the number of participants in a war and thus saving lives. To quote...theriddlen said:
"It occurred to me that if I could invent a machine ? a gun ? which could by its rapidity of fire, enable one man to do as much battle duty as a hundred, that it would, to a large extent supersede the necessity of large armies, and consequently, exposure to battle and disease [would] be greatly diminished"
Unfortunately whilst Gatling knew how to divide, the Generals knew how to multiply, changing the face of war and politics forever.
To answer the question, if I would give anything to the ancients it would be knowledge. Science, Maths, advanced metalurgy, medicine, perhaps even a 'universal' alphabet and language, these things would be of greater benefit than any single object or machination of modern society.
