So right now, you sit down, and to your amazement, your computer is plugged into some kind of "ether"net cable (I'm here all week). This cable is actually somehow linked to the internet 100 years in the future.

However, the connection will deteriorate within 10 minutes. What would you do with your 10 minutes of future internet?

One hundred years of stock market performance history, then do a few Back to the Future-style sports bets to get enough money to invest...then get rich.

Download at least one game. Yeah, I'd pirate it in this specific circumstance. Deal with it.

Also just visit news sites, see what's going on in 2022.
Remember, its 2112. You have 100 years of history! Would you check the near or far future?

The same thing I always do: Tell the younger generation that my generation was much better and they are a bunch of little shits.

That and Porn...

Step 1: Locate Wikipedia (or the 2112 equivalent thereof)
Step 2: Search "21st century"
Step 3: "Save page as . . ."
Step 4: Read as much of the page as I can in the time I've got
And if I'm feeling like burning some time . . .
Step 5: Check future Newegg (or the 2112 equivalent thereof) to see how crazy computer hardware's gotten

I would then open the Wikipedia article in a browser if I can, and if I can't, then I'll try to open it in Notepad and edit out the formatting. I will then never, ever tell anyone what I have learned or act on what I have learned. I will instead smugly sit back and watch the future unfold.

Unless, of course, the future is total shit. Like, post-apocalyptia levels of shit. Then I'll probably still keep it to myself, but do everything within my power to change it. Admittedly, I probably won't be able to actually do much, but at least I can watch the world go to shit knowing I tried to stop it.

Although, knowing my luck, I'd get my 2112 internet the same day that future 4chan (or the 2112 equivalent thereof) decides to raid as many historical Wikipedia articles as they can.

Either that or I'd be forced to browse the 2112 internet with 2012 speeds, preventing me from so much as opening Google (or the 2112 equivalent thereof) before my time runs out.

Find out if Keiichi ever gets past 2nd base (Ah! My Goddess)

Then if I have time:

Find an ebook torrent (or future equivalent) download and enjoy it and finally pass them off as if I had wrote them revolutionizing literature and invent countless new tropes. Maybe grab a few technical manuals if I can find them as well.

Edit: Listen to 2112 by Rush on future youtube gaining gazilliions of hipster cred.

I suppose in ten minutes I would try to browse through and save as many relevant pages as I could find

I would want to see if I could bring back any revolutionary technology, but even if the cure for cancer or nuclear fusion was developed by then, I doubt I would be able to find it in a format that I could replicate it today
