If You Could Take 1 Thing With You. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

If you were thrown back in time, say to the mid 70s, and could take 1 thing with you? What would it be?

I would take my Laptop. Because if I were stuck there, I would be able to sell it for maybe----10 million dollars? and someone would probably pay it too, considering the advanced technology it would be. That is of the GOV, didn't confiscate it first.

The funny thing is. NASA had huge refrigerator size computers that filled a whole room that couldn't do what many laptops today can do.

and the computer that helped them land on the moon had as much power as a digital watch.

If I went back to the 1960's...I would bring my VCR and many blank videocassettes. I'd probably save EVERY Johnny Carson "Tonight Show" that got taped-over from NBC.

I'm surprised no one responded,"Money!" Taking 2022 money to say 1972 would really lucrative!

In the 70's, a Movie ticket, popcorn, soda and a Chinese Meal was worth about $5. Nowadays, that same thing would be more like $35. So you'd definitely be considered wealthy if you took 2022 money to 1972.

Growing up my mother made the greatest homemade spaghetti and meatballs and everyone loved her food, this is what I would love to have again.
