Imagine the football team you could assemble with the knowledge you have today, on the best players over the last 25 years.
I would buy Torres and play him as our main striker all over again so my team selection would not raise alarm bells

Unless you invented it first,and I was using internal webs back in the 80's.

Internal network webs is different, the open web was launched in '94.

Still, you digress. The original point is: you can't have a jet boat in 1890

I know Robben, I worked in the industry from 1980 until recently and given the knowledge I have now about how it would grow I would have got it going earlier.

The reality is that if any of us went back we wouldn't be able to explain the inner workings of a mobile phone or a laptop to anyone else.

Well very few of us anyway.

No chance we'd be able to recreate one.

Of course not but with 15m I could hire the people with the know how or invest in the right companies.

These things are rarely invented singularly, the one that works best wins through, so for example I wouldn't waste my money on laser disks but look to pursue the VHS option for tapes, even though Betamax was marginally better quality. I wouldn't wait for Apple to tell me what is the best mobile phone (or software at least) but work with someoneto develop and Apple type solution, patent the sort of things apple have before they got to them and you are laughing. Yeah I am going to change the world, I aloreaddy have my tagline, just need a logo.
