If you could go back 20 years and take one thing with you to get rich what would it be?

Something that didn't exist twenty years ago.

But something that you fully understand and could recreate yourself from raw materials.


It can't be something dependant on other technologies, either
An ipod wouldn't work cause the internet and MP3's didn't exist beck then

I think I'd recreate a Razor type scooter or a super soaker

Nah, I got in on the IPO and lost money cuz of the hype. You'd only get money if you were working with Sergey and co.

Google was never worth less than the IPO...


It's now worth about 3x the IPO

Actually, you know, 1985 wasn't really that long ago...

At least it doesn't seem so

I'd gather as much pre-1985 currency as I possibly could and invest it in Microsoft, IBM and Apple.

This is easy. A list of lottery numbers and stock reports.

I don't think half of you understood the post.

An invention, not lottery numbers.

Yeah, and it's pointless. Nothing would be more profitable than a list of winning lottery numbers and stock reports.
