If you travelled back to Medievel times with an Ipad and Iphone what would happen?

OMARS_COMING_

Lets say you time traveled to medieval times in a time machine.

You brought with you an Apple Ipad and Iphone and maybe a watch and lighter.

Would you be able to explain to the medieval people what they are and what they are used for? Would they think you are a witch?


I spelt Medieval wrong,i know.

GastroBoy

You would be raped for your ass gold, that's what!

im invisible

Witch! Burn him!

The bloody battery would go

It'd be hard to explain to them what it was used for without any WiFi around.

mr.jingle

Don't think the internet connection was great back then so they'd be pretty useless!

spankysue

They might think you're on crack.... I do

charlemont

Hung Drawn and Quartered, They would be amazed to see these items. But obviously they would run out of battery power and then the King would run out of patience and off to the gallows with you, Sir.

Seriously though, could you teach them anything?

We all know planes can fly, Electricity can be generated by carbon/nuclear/hydro and wind, guns can shot bullets,combustion engines can make things go really fast etc etc.

But how many of us can practically tell them how these things happen?

admiralofthefleet

you wouldnt be able to ring mizzoni's

KKkitty

You'd be dead I guess or held prisoner for the rest of your days for the sheer lunacy of which you do profess.

They wouldn't work though (Ipad and iPhone), without power and all that. So they'd think I'm an idiot. The watch might get some praise, the lighter not so much.... You know how a lighter works right..?

Also I'm a man, so I wouldn't be thought of as a witch, wizard or sorcerer maybe. I'm going to bed, why the hell did I post this reply...

ToddyDoody

You'd be a heretic and be put to death?

I've got a pretty decent general knowledge on all those things but scale and politics would be a big hurdle to development. Imagine trying to convince some 16th century spice trader that some metal only found in China is really useful and people don't care about spices or how to build all the ships needed for trade etc.

Bloodwing

I'd say they would be a lot more interested in the time machine you arrived in. Personally I'd bring some heavy weaponry and change the course of history. Let's see how long the Vikings last on Irish soil when they meet my M16!!

Pottler

You'd show them to the first two goms you met in some godforsaken village, and be totally knackered walking to the next one to show them. They would then offer to swap them for a turnip to eat, and you'd accept. They'd feed them to the pigs. Priorities and all that. BTW, hurry up and come. You might stop with the fapping then.

What is it with everyone saying there would ne no internet connection but they have no problem playing along with the fact that they just used a time travel machine to travel back in time?

What i would do i bring many batteries in a bag,also i would use the time machine as a kinda of portal that stayed open and i would relay wifi through the portal to my Iproducts.

D'oh! Everyone knows you have to travel naked through a time machine. Silly billy!

Christ the crap threads the Higgs Boson has loosed on the world.

Dartz

You'd quickly find that in medieval times, a pile of flaming ******s meant something entirely different than it does today....




Riling the clergy in the 13th century was a dangerous occupation. Although some would be fascinated by the mysterious trinket.... more than a few would see it as a threat to their dominance.

Well to answer a hypothetical ya kinda have to accept the conditions in the question.

magick

they would probably laugh at how much gold u paid for those useless things

clashburke

burn as a witch many times

apple stuff is **** now never mid years ago!!!!

A large machine gun with lots of Ammo would be of more significance!!!


God Love The United Republic Of the Irish Diaspora!!!

Sterling Archer

What you would have done sir is brought two paper weights or "stones" with you, perhaps traveling to the stone age would suit better...

And you have a time traveling device, what the hell are you doing using an Iphone :P

I wrote a grand reply to end this thread and it did save!!

Initially I though that too... But a Delorean has a ciggy lighter so you could recharge them..

Wacker The Attacker

I'd punch you in the face

Rented Mule

It would be pretty useless with the exception of your music collection (which may be pretty useless in itself as well).
