Another 'What if'

WHAT IF .....? (sorry if this is now ‘copyrighted' by you Robbo)
You woke up tomorrow and found yourself in (lets say) the 11th century - ‘the time of Robin Hood – Holy Crusades etc etc’ – just you!! – no calculators, laptops, biros etc.

With your vast knowledge of the 21st century living, what could YOU do to improve the life of you fellow humans ....
....I’ve thought about this a few times and initially decided – weaponry – more specific gunpowder! – altho’ I know the ingredients of black power – how do I find it, where do I get it and how would I then make ‘bullets/guns’ without machines??? .... SO....not weaponry....lets try hygiene – nope! Don’t know how to make soap from scratch .....and it goes on & on....!!

So – simple question – not such a simple answer.....

PS – And how do you think it would affect our present day – if YOUR invention was ‘discovered’ way back then!

Set up the first ever sup-air field and say and be the first to say GAME ON!

and swap my mobile phone which would be in my pocket for the whole of England.

I literally have no idead what you mean!
That's because you lack male genitalia, which have been proven to increase intelligence. :p

I would invent the cigarette. THEN, while puffing away on my new invention I'd invent the bicycle (in a rudimentary fashion, but I'm sure I could work something out with the local blacksmith). Hell yeah.

I wouldn't do anything except go chill in the forest and learn some Ray Mears type skills. Things are fu*ked up enough in the present that quickening any process would only serve to further our demise...
