If a time traveler arrived here from the year 1814 (1 Viewer)

That Napoleon went to Elba.

 

[Henry Ford]

Air conditioning.

Advances in medicine. Diseases that were fatal then are easily cured now. If a man from 2014 went to 2214 and found out cancer was no more it would blow his mind.

If someone went from now to 2214 I think besides advances in medicine people would be blown away by transportation upgrades. Coast to coast in seconds.

Don't completely agree.

In 200 years I expect cancer to be cured with ease. Coast to coast in seconds would be amazing but I expect some sort of bi advancement in 200 years.

What would blow me away in 200 years would be things that seem so far fetched.

Outside of technology I think we are going to have some major sociological changes. Like most people don't really work but instead get a BIG because boys have replaced most of the workforce. Something like that.

 

[Tom Servo]

They would be shocked to find out John Quincy Adams was elected POTUS.

 

[spreagle]

They would be shocked to see gold at 1200/ounce it would mean the monetary system had collapsed and the constitution had been abandoned.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I think they would be shocked at how little we stink. Advances in personal hygiene would blow them away. It was a pungent world back then.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Why 1814?

2 years to recover from the war.

 

[Dentist]

indoor plumbing

 

[Snoopy]

Why 1814?

2 years to recover from the war.

The war ended in 1815.

Horseless carriages.

Those wouldn't blow my mind. If they still had cancer I'd be surprised.

I'd probably be blown away by things that are presently science fiction - teleportation, space colonies, communication and/or war with aliens, etc

Edit c numb beat me to it.

 

[Widbil83]

They would be shocked people elected a half white guy who wasn't even born here POTUS.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Why 1814?

2 years to recover from the war.

The war ended in 1815.

In that case to get away from the war.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

“no refusal” OVI checkpoints

 

[ghostguy123]

I dont think cancer will be gone. Just a hunch. May even start a thread on this later. Get your popcorn ready.

Transported from 1814?? Shocked by food, charmin ultra soft, and TV. Somehow those all correlate.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

If a time traveler arrived here from the year 1814, what would they find most shocking about the world today?

Probably just damn near everything.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Depends on where their time machine takes them. If it's someplace like NE Philly, they're going to be shocked when they get killed for their time machine.

 

[pollardsvision]

Shaved *****

Forget all these silly electronic advances, this is the one that'll blow Jebediah's mind.

OK maybe not cancer but how about blindness and deafness. How about being able to be taller if you want? What about being able to have whatever muscle mass you want and be able to adjust it easily.

Excellent point. If it takes them to West Virginia they'll be shocked at how little the world has changed.

 

[avoiding injuries]

That we survived the Y2K bug

Exactly.

Their minds would probably be most blown if they ended up in Tokyo. The technology there plus all the whacky Japanese fashion would melt their brains.

 

[Mario Kart]

Anything to do with either WWI or WWII would be shocking since bombs and chemical warfare didn't really exist like they did during those two wars.

 

[ghostguy123]

Eating disorders

 

[Rohn Jambo]

Traveling by car and airplanes, but probably not compared to a time machine.

 

[Vike Me]

The NBA

 

[Fennis]

That we survived the Y2K bug

that we survived the Y1.9K bug

 

[Rohn Jambo]

The Internet.

 

[Ilov80s]

Shaved *****

Forget all these silly electronic advances, this is the one that'll blow Jebediah's mind.

Removing of pubes is thousands of years old.

It's the first thing they did after fire was discovered. The smell was only bad for a day.

 

[Brony]

Our huge advances in the ways of toilet paper and fly swatters

Used up my likes for today in one thread.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I think they would find that more interesting than amazing.

Wal Mart and television.

 

[Gene Sackman]

That anyone would wear underwear during a massage..

 

[Das Boot]

That if he just would have put a penny in the bank before he left at 8% annual interest, he'd have $48,389.50 to spend in Vegas now.
