PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
Time travelers -- those going backwards -- frequently have trouble with technology. Namely, that whatever there is of it, they brought with them. And typically, they won't have the tools they need to maintain it, much less repair or rebuild from scratch, and there is no industrial society which can manage the trick for them. Slightly hard to deal with if said malfunctioning tech is what was supposed to get you home in the first place. What are you supposed to do, recreate the march of industry from the six simple machines to portable wormhole generators all by yourself -- before your lifespan runs out?
Some will try exactly that, keeping it totally private so as not to damage history. But they're not the totality. A few will openly recruit help from the local geniuses of the era and gather financial support along the way, either not caring about what this does to the timestream or because they figure it's too late already. A few came back to do exactly this in the first place. Moveable print in 1200 B.C. Antibiotics before the Black Plague. Moses with another kind of tablet.
