if you travel back to 1985 and show people your Galaxy Nexus...

if you travel back to 1985 and show people your Galaxy Nexus,
what would have happened? (assuming you don't let them know
that you're from 2011)

sorry... this question just popped in my mind because my family
is watching Back To the Future Trilogy on Blu-ray right now.

I can't believe I'm so old.... nobody had cellphones back when
I was a teenager....

'85... You are right, this is extremly random.


"Is that the new Texas Instruments Calculator"


"You must be from the Future"

"Is that the Comadore 1 million?" lol..

Better yet, take a look at a phone now from 26 years (2037) in the future. Think they'll be whining about battery life?

by 2037, I hope people won't need phones any longer.... we will all be communicating with
each other via brainwave transmitters or something....

they'll probably see 2011 smartphones as two paper cup and a string phones!

assuming the planet makes it past 2012, of course...

even if I do get a signal... there is no internet in 1985 because Al Gore hasn't invented it yet!
I remember writing all my college papers on a, drum roll, please... IBM TYPEWRITER!

If I can go back to 85 I won't be thinking of showing anyone a smartphone, I will be buying stock in companies like Microsoft and apple!!!!

I can't believe you left out Google and Amazon!
You know? The same Google who's responsible for the Galaxy Nexus?

Of course, by going back in time, there's no telling if the timelines would
have been disturbed. (i.e. Atari could be bigger than Apple now! )

Google and Amazon were not arouns in 1985. However, AOL would have been a great by back then.

No signal, of course.

But, you could still dazzle 'em with the Camera.


Especially if you managed to interface it with an Epson 9-pin dot matrix printer !

You'd be arrested by the government, probed, killed, dissected, have your remains freeze dried and locked away at a top secret bunker in the New Mexico desert, and have vague references made about you on late night conspiracy documentaries on the History Channel.

That is why I left them out! I would also file for some pattens for everything apple currently is suing people over. The possibilities are endless

Microsoft would of been great back in 1985. I would of held off Apple stock till they were almost bankrupt.

I would of shown the people of 1985 my Nexus playing BTTF. And when they ask how I had a copy of the movie on my calculator I would of said. "Its a magical device". Then I would trademark it and sue Jobs later for using it.
