Day 3 Post - Who you gonna call?

This will be a 2 part question following the theme used in the movie Frequency.
1) If you could contact 1 person in the past and have a conversation with them who would it be and why? Ignore language difference and tech differences for this question.
2) If you could contact 1 person from your past who would it be and why? Think of this like the movie you have a way to speak with someone you have known.

  1. I would contact John Rockefeller and tell him to get into the oil business. He would most likely want to thank me somehow and I would say burying a large sum of cash somewhere in the desert would be acceptable. Of course the location is shared with me but I would ask for it to remain a secret for anything else. After talking to him I would travel to the desert and dig up my fortune.

    From my past, I would contact myself. I would do this because I could give myself all sorts of future wisdom. I could correct all of my mistakes and open a ton of new opportunities. When I gain the trust of my past self, I would play tons of jokes on myself. This would be unnecessary but it would be funny.

  2. If I could talk to one person from the past I wouldn't because I would not want to change the past. If I were to talk with someone and it would not change the past at all I would talk to someone like Nicola Tesla Because he is not a very well recorded person and I would like to hear his ideas.

    If I were to talk to someone in my lifetime I would talk to myself because I have done many things I regret and I would be able to stop myself from injury.

  3. If I were to talk to anyone In time I would want to talk to hamarabe because I could tell him that his laws are not reasonable and that the punishments are also obscene. I would then provide him with a more fair and modern set of laws. I might have to argue but I would simply tell him that his empire will fail altogether and it doesn't matter.

    If I were to contact someone from my past I would contact my brother from the past. I would help along through school and help him make sure he does his work so he feels as if he can get through high school.

  4. Part 1). I would contact teenager Lionel just so I could tell Lionel about the future and his future. But I would tell him to try to pretend that he never heard me so it won't alter the timeline.

    Part 2). If I could contact my Grandma and ask her how it is like to live in that time then I would tell her about smartphones, electricity, and I would tell her "when you know what the company called Microsoft is, I advise you to buy some stock because it's value will skyrocket."

  5. If i could contact one person in the past, I would talk to JK. Rowling before she wrote Harry Potter and tell her different bits of information to change some things about the books. For example, I would tell her that just because a horrible person did one good thing out of obligation does not mean that they are a good person (like Snape) and that no one should name their kid after that person.

    If I could contact one person in my past, I would talk to my Great Grandfather. I would just tell him about what's going on in my life and try to fill him in on anything he missed. He loved football, so I would tell him that the seahawks won the superbowl in 2013. Alternatively, I'd like to contact my St. Bernard from a few years ago. I can't talk to him, cause he's a dog, but I'd still be nice.

  6. B.T.W. This is Blaire borrowing Soloman's computer...

    My answer:
    1.) If I could, I would contact a book character (Percy Jackson) because He's so freakin' awesome! Okay... Seriously though, I would talk to my dog (who died) because I miss her.

    2.) If I could, I would contact my past self and tell me not to make some stupid horrible desicion.

  7. 1) I would probably tell my grandfather to invest in Microsoft or some other profitable venture. Again, if they were responsible I would have plenty of money today. I could probably do something more productive to society, but truthfully money is the easiest and best thing to get selfishly through time travel. If anything I could give back through charity and be a bit less selfish.
    2) I would tell myself to be a bit more proactive on the ERP. It was a lot of work and afterwards I have better ideas on how to prioritize for that project. Either that or I would try to prevent a terrible meme. Stop Harambe from ever starting that. Tell John Cena to take a breath. Warn of the bottle flip.

  8. I would contact a human from 20,000 years ago and ask what life was like back then. I would learn a lot about the primitive lifestyle, hobbies, entertainment and much much more. I also could write what he/she said in a book and hopefully get a lot of money from the book.

    If I could contact one person from my past, it would be me from 5 years ago. I would talk about how to not spend all my money on legos I would never used and projects that were never finished. I would do this so, I would have more money that I could use for something bigger and better later.

  9. I would talk to H.G. Wells. The first reason why i would talk to H.G. Wells is because that was the first name I saw. The second reason is that i would like to tell him everything that i knew about our history so his book could be more accurate. Or i would make the term 'time travel' more interesting, especially because he was pretty much the creator of the concept. Also when talking to him I could find out who we are in the book, and finally make him change Philby's name to something that isn't so terrible.
    I would talk to my self from at least 3 years ago. I would do this because i am an un-original cliche and could not think of anything else-- that wasn't so personal. I would just talk about things, warn about bad things and how to avoid-- cliche-- and just really see how that in those few years i have changed so much, truly.

  10. If I could contact someone from the past, I would talk to Leonardo Da Vinci and ask about his inventions then and ask him about his art. I would mainly like to talk to him about why he chose to paint Mona Lisa and why she is smiling in the painting. I would ask him about how he designed the human powered flying contraption and what inspired him to create the design.
    If I could contact someone in my past, I would talk to my Grandfather. He used to produce opera shows that were not the typical type of opera show back then. I would ask him what inspired him to have animals in his shows and what his favorite place was to visit during the tours. My Grandmother was also a dancer in his earlier shows, although, if I could, I would ask her why she became a dancer and how long she preformed in his shows.
