It is an instant choice. You would not have time to go research anything first, memorize some lotto ticket, etc. The time you choose to go to, you would also go back to your age at that time. I.e. if I went back twenty years, I'd be eight years old again, in my same old house, same parents, same everything, except I'd have broad historical knowledge of the next twenty years.

Social experiences = stuff like relationships, friends, family events, etc.

Technical/school/work/etc = stuff you learned at school, in your job, etc.

Broad historical knowledge = whatever you remember about newsworthy events, 9/11, iraq war, school shootings, elections, etc.

Remember, it's only stuff that you would actually recall from memory. Obviously everyone knows when 9/11 was, but the exact date of some school shooting, or the people's names might be a little more difficult to recall smile.gif. Also remember you will be your same age from that time. Some people might have trouble believing a three year old about some historical events. Hell, as a three year old you might not even be able to write down the events before you forget them smile.gif

I once turned down a three-some with an old girlfriend fearing it would damage the relationship.

I would go back in time and make the right choice.
