If you had an internet connection from 100 years in the Future...

Step One: Find out the greatest technological achievements of the next 100 years.

Step Two: Patent the shit out of them.

Step Three: Get rich AND advance the flow of technology by 100 years.

 

[Rawne1980]

Send e-mails to all the people claiming "the end of the world" and tell them they will have to wait at least 100 more years.

 

[Esotera]

Find wikipedia, download the text-only version to my hard-drive as quickly as possible. The knowledge within would allow so much technological advancement.

Oh, and also, I'd probably upload something to the future. Something really inappropriate, so that historians believed we all worshipped a fertility cult or something.

 

[Owyn_Merrilin]

Sports scores for the next 20 years, paying particular attention to horse and dog races, then a trip to the future version of Wikipedia if I have any time left. Instant millionare.

Step 1: download the next 4 albums by Justin Bieber (don't worry, I have a plan)

Step 2: copy lyrics and publish a very small number of "poetry books". These books will only be distributed to freinds and placed in several libraries.

Step 3: A few weeks before Bieber releases his 4th album (before anyone would have leaked the tracks,but wekk after the tracks were layed down, preventing any way for *me* to have known what his lyrics are)...sue for stealing my words, offering up the proof that it was all published years ago an was stolen to make Bieber millions!

I have now made myself rich AND rid the world of Justin Bieber....my work is done

Well, as people have stated, download wikipedia (future internet is fast ok) and then google myself and see what happens.. universe might implode, due to the fact that whatever fate I may have had, would be changed due to the downloading of that information, but since that is still in tandem on whatever I read about happening to me, which hasn't but might happen depending on what I read, as oadahwdiahwd... MY BRAIN, IT'S MELLTTTTTTINGGG.

 

[Launcelot111]

Use future Google to search for all the government's secrets. Future Google would laugh at current government's encryption methods

 

[MammothBlade]

I guess I'm the first to say to look for the history of Lotto ticket numbers website? I mean this is the internet afterall so someone would of recorded it!

This is exactly what I was thinking.

I'd then look up epic spoilers for the future. The fate of the world, progression of technology, etc... without impacting the causality continuum too much.

 

[Ragsnstitches]

DOWNLOAD ALL THE PORN!!

Just popping in to make sure this obligatory response was used. Continue about your business, equilibrium has been maintained.

EDIT: The irony being that in 20 years there is a global catastrophe and we are sent back 80 years tech wise, meaning in 100 years we would only be getting dial-up.

[Biodeamon]

news first from the new world. then check out all the weird porn which is now legal.

 

[floppylobster]

Try and find out when I died. Get the best music of the last 100 years. And the best books. A few big sports results (to make some money). Get a political map of the world. Find out where the big disasters are going to be (just out of interest). Then maybe do a bit of research to see the latest advances in preventing whatever it was that killed me.

Post on a few forums leaving notes to the people of the future. Something like a thread that says "I'm from 2012, ask me anything".

 

[Evil Smurf]

get all my escapist badges at once!

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

Download games.
Find the lottery numbers.
Pretend I wouldn't find out what future porn is like.

 

[Insomniac55]

Download the entire archive of Wikipedia, provided my connection speed was similarly future'd. I'd have basically an extensive article on every major future event, info on future tech advancements and science breakthroughs, plenty of info on games, and lots of economic information for financial gain.

Then the porn. Lots of it.

 

[Terminate421]

Download porn.

Also, search up when the Halo games stopped coming out.

Also, find the total number of Pokemon.

 

[SkoopMaster]

Condensing 100 years of future history in 10 minuets... right...

Now what I would really try to do is look at what condition the world is in in 100 years and hope that it is something worth fighting for and if I don't like what I see then I would somehow end the world right now and try to leave evidence that we were here so that the next generation of whatever knows that, and I would leave some notes on what we did wrong and tell them to never ever do what we did.


I can only hope that new world of new people do things right.


.... man that was depressing.

 

[boyvirgo666]

Futurama says there will be ultraporn which requires you to be like 80 to see it. I would get that. oh and lottery numbers

 

[geK0]

I'd look up some things that had become big between 2015 and 2030 and try to capitalize on them early on by investing in it, inventing it, or whatever.I would look up things from the further future, but I only have 10 minutes and the next 20 years are much more relevant to me than the following 80.

 

[OldNewNewOld]

Wiki: 21st century stock market history -> Save page
Wiki: 21st Soccer results ->Save page

I will use some of those results and bet on them. Once I get enough money I will invest it depending on the stock market I saved. Comfortable future secured.

And I would use the rest of the time to look at the future porn and maybe pirate few games. Hey don't look at me that way. There is no way that I could pay for them.
