You can bring a technology to the past

You are a time traveler who is going to travel to a period of time and you can bring one modern technology. Where would you go, what would you bring, etc.

I would go back in time to when the Mongols were about to invade Russia, then give modern firearms to Russia so they can prevent the Mongol invasion of Europe.

[quote=Peperz276]Personally? I would have assassinated Aaron Burr and smacked Thomas Jefferson around. Getting rid of a central bank was a terrible idea.[/quote]

Wasn't that Jackson?

I would bring an iPhone5 to Alexander Graham Bell when the telephone was first invented in 1876.

I'd give Euler and his mathematician friends Mathematica and teach them to use it. When you give some of the brighest mathematical minds a tool that will save them a huge load of computational work, imagine what kind of advances they can make with their ingenuity.

I would take a time machine back to a random point in time and give it to a random person and teach them how to use it so they can travel to another point in time and repeat process.

[quote=Peperz276]Flying back to back flights from Greece to Persia would exhaust gas quite quickly. Also, how are you going to take off? There are no runways, and the roads back then were not capable for launching aircraft.[/quote]
Oh, good points there.
