I'm assuming that this is both access to future knowledge as well as super fast speeds.

Minute 1: Download the compiled data and media that future me has left me. Done.

Otherwise

Minute 1: Download a page of the winning lottery numbers now till 100 years from now. Pick a few that suits me to get comfortably rich.

Minute 2: Look at what companies are doing well in Stock/what are some start ups that make it big so I can possess even greater wealth

Minute 2: Download the entirety of the Wiki of that time. If that is not possible look at the major events that took place within the last 100 years.

Minute 3: Look at my Obituary assuming I'm dead.

Minute 4: Download the compiled Data

Minute 5-10 Download all the media content I can.

See if anyone's found a universal field theory yet and DL the shit out of that. If not, then yeah, the sports and stocks history for 100 years. :)

Find out about all the most recent technological inventions, take screenshots of the patents, and also download games and movies, future and present. That said, I don't suppose it's piracy if it hasn't been created yet...

In fact, I think it pretty much boils down to get all the information, then orchestrate those exact events, and pretty much control everything that happens in the world for the next hundred years. Except that I'd be happy with just gaming and technology, I wouldn't bother with the stock market or anything like that. Also, if noteworthy, I'd find out what I died of and avoid that.

Write down as many sports results as possible, and find some of the actually in space porn that's sure to exist at that point.

A game came to mind but my computer would explode from trying to run something from that far in the future. Might check out some screenshots to see how things are doing though.

Firstly, I'd read through news sites and find out what the greatest disasters, events, cultural and technological leaps, sports happenings and conflicts have been.

From there, I'd immediately set about patenting said technologies, funding said cultural leaps, betting on great sports events and so on...not only supporting all the good things of the future to make the future even better but also making a pretty penny at the same time.

With the profit I make from that second step, I immediately set about preventing all the nasty things that happened. Funding preventative measures for places that get affected by natural disasters, funding specific medical research to prevent outbreaks and so on.

At the end of it all I'll have madde lotsa money, probably earned a few Nobel prizes and built an awesome future. And all thanks to ten minutes on the future internet.

Oh, I can imagine how that would go.

Step 1: Download the theory of everything

Step 2: Get information to become rich (internet dies here)

Step 3: Begin reading ToE doc. First sentence is "This work borrows heavily from the 2087 paper (Slovak, et. al) which established the proof of the Riemann Hypothesis*..."

Step 4: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[[ * I mean, it would actually probably be the Yang-Mills Existence and Mass Gap, but hey... you work with your audience]]

If I can use the future internet to grab physical crap: Upgrade to a HAL 9000 level computer for about $50.

If not: Grab the torrent for the Deadpool movie and Half-Life 2 Episode 3 (FINALLY!)

Pft. Lottery numbers. Sports results. Aaaand maybe a few game releases so I can be the crazy psychic.

And heck if I'm on the fast interwebs I will download as much info as I can, COPY PASTA POWERS ACTIVATE.

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?
Out of curiosity, does it also have future internet speed? Because if it does, I would download a fuckload of games and put them on my hard drive. Also I'd have a gander at what is interesting in the future and whether those nasty Russians ever did decided to attack.
