[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 6230867, member: 70"] Beggery and death, usually. A hundred years ago, I'd probably be screwed. Most of my professional knowledge is in construction. I can use handtools, but not well. I might be able to invent a few things. I might actually do better 1,000 years ago, assuming I landed in England, and America. Construction techniques were less advanced, but the tools were basically the same. Probably see if I could survive long enough to invent the printing press and a few other things. Proper hygiene - maybe I could pass off as a physician. I might qualify as some kind of scholar, but not sure. Biggest hurdle would be learning the language before I starve to death. I think the world is going to be pretty weird in fifty years, honestly. So...a hundred. That should give genetics and computers plenty of time to get funky. Well, even today there are un-or minimally contacted tribes in South America and...New Guinea? So I don't think any random homo sapien is really incapable of being acclimated to modern day life. Specific individuals might not do well, but that wouldn't be a function of their time period. [/QUOTE]
