Fridge, Computer, Call it what ever you wish (Time Machine)





Intergallatic Time Travelling Machine..!

Have you ever wanted to turn the clock back to that incident where you had sexual relations with that 'ugly' chick from that party or wanted to be like Marty McFly from Back to the Future.? Well here is your chance..

I just recently went back in time to grade 7 so I could do the "Angry Bulldog" out of my Dad's car to my teacher as I left Primary School for the last time, it was awesome! Also travelled into the future by two years just yesterday to see if the city council is going to pull the Bell Tower down. bad news im afraid.

Refurbished back to its original condition with the addition of a new iridium pulse inverter will see you travelling through time with ease. Has clocked a few thousand minutes, but operates like a dream. May need a new paint job as its decor is a little out dated. Can take up to two travellers at a time. Unfortunately i dont have the operators manual but i could give you a demonstration of its time travelling ability.

Very cheap price and will not disapoint $100 ono

In the days before computers we used to look up car parts, paint formulas ect on tiny transpent cards and these were the readers. Way before your time lotowind. But well during mine

Why is it so big? I can do that on my 3inch by 1 inch phone which cost $50.
How did you ever carry that big thing in your pocket?
Or did you have to travel to a special place that had one to use it?
Could you download mp3 on it?
Or play Halo3 live with some kid in Canada whist talking to him on your headset?
In which case couldnt you have just goggled what you were after on your i-pad?

But I guess that would be too hard when you had to walk to and from school every day for 10kms,,,, up hill,,,,,,both ways.

Aaaarh,,technology, how far we have come.

The problem is all this technology is making us stupid. Every phone has a contact list. So you don't have to remember anyone's number.

If you buy that time machine and go back 100 years you will find people were very intelligent. Fast forward 100 years and people are really stupid, machines are doing everything for them. Fast forward 1000 years humans are basically devolving back into worms, completely lacking intellectually and physically.

Fast forward 100,000 years and machines have decided they have had enough and leave us to look after ourselves. Humanity dies out a few years later.

No, no. All this technology is just making a lot of noise. Our stupid minds have made a megaphone. "blah blah blah blah"

...although to be fair I usually have more intelligent "conversations" with complete strangers on the internet than I do with people in real life. Usually, but not always thanks god. To be fair the internet connects and disseminates a LOT of information from a LOT of people.

Your logic is incorrect. If we went back 70 or 80 years the today's 80 or 90 year old was a teenager or so. So you give someone back in the 1930s an iPod. How long would it have taken them to work it out?

Probably much longer than it would take an i generation to work out where they are going to get their next meal from as their parents had to kick them out of home as there was no money to keep them.

Learning to survive in a hostile environment takes a lot more intelligence than working out how to construct a playlist or post smart ar$e comments on Facebook. I'm sure if you gave the average teenager a VCR and asked them to record a TV show using a timer they'd be stuffed too.

Basically any piece of technology without a graphical, event driven interface is too difficult for most people. Is that not a sign of diminished intelligence?

I'm pretty sure that it's been proven that lack of intelligence can be correlated to a lack of spelling ability, as well as lack of punctuation skills... [}:)]
