[Tenacious 1]

imagine going back to the stone ages and trying to build a radio.

I've tried to imagine what it would be like to bring an 19th century inventor to present time. Put him in the passenger seat of my truck and go for a 75 MPH ride down the highway at night with the air conditioner blowing and the radio blasting music.

Now imagine what we might expect if we were moved 200 years into the future. We can't imagine what to expect, but we would at least expect to be surprised.

Consider that if you brought somebody from 1 AD to George Washington's time, he would not see a huge difference in lifestyle. Horses still dragged carts. Ships still moved by wind-power. People still heated their houses with burning wood. Gunpowder would be a big change, but what else beyond that?

Now, bring somebody from 1776 up to 2013, and he would think he was in a world of magic.
