Journal # 7- A Laptop in the past

If I had to bring a piece of technology into the past I would bring a computer(laptop) to the medieval times because back then everything was still simple. Rocks, steel, horses, arrows, swords mostly simple things, me bringing a laptop and showing what it can do would amaze people of the time making them easy to control. I would show them how in the distant future we are going to be able to communicate with anyone around the world with just a few clicks and movement of our fingers. I would tell them about the social networks such as twitter and facebook and how they keep us connected to our friends and family, and how it distracts us from doing our chores. I will also show them the interior of the laptop and try to explain to them how its different components such as the motherboard, core and graphics card make the machine run and do as you tell it to(with the mouse and keyboard). Showing them what we will be able to do in the future with computers might have the creation of the first computer happen much earlier, making computers much more efficient and advanced in our current time. Also this would mean that the scientific revolution could happen much earlier as people see how the laptop can do so much making them discover how does it all work.
