What I just had in mind was I wonder how people would react if you took say a ps2, or a bose suround sound DVD,CD,Am,Fm player to the 40's. And that means besides just saying wow. Or even just taking a color T.V. I wonder if somone would have a heart attack and say,THE GRAPHICS ARE SO INTENSE!!!!Or mabye they would just die from the excitement, anyway what woulllld happen???

Do you mean the 1940's or the 2040's?

If you are talking about the 1940's, I would say look no further than the first Back to the Future movie... the first video game eas invented in the late '50's and people were amazed by it... I think they would be dumbfounded by today's technology... By the 2040's what we have now (if the system lasts that much longer) would be antiquated

hahaha... tris you are hilarious! i think that if somebody from the 40's was playing ps2, their brain would EXPLODE!!

well.......because graphics on a TV or whatever we might veiw them on, as cool as they are, are not as clear as our own eyesight, and the very things we can see with our own eyes...I don't think much would happen. They are human, just like we are, and although they would be amazed by what it can do, it wouldn't freak them out.

dont be so rational. pretend ths journal makes sense and jst say that the people's eyes would pop out and the rate of violence and crime would drastically shoot up among children

oh yeah, and the general populous would become a mob and eat all the people who presented this "amazing technology" to their un-suspecting relatives who were obliterated by taking a gander at this fascinating futuro-techno-devicios' (devices)

maybe they would say we already had this stuff, but destroyed it and all knowledge of it to protect future generations, and we hoped no one would ever invent it again! (Kinda like Terminator)
