Well, imagine if... the people of the 1300's had or technology and knowledge and all that back then, where do you think we would be?

Today's technology... YESTERDAY! Where would we be?
| Totally destroyed by war | 39% | 39% - 15 | ||||
| On another planet | 2% | 2% - 1 | ||||
| Destroyed in a war with aliens | 2% | 2% - 1 | ||||
| So far advanced... we are on another planet | 36% | 36% - 14 | ||||
| Other (Please state) | 18% | 18% - 7 | ||||
| Total: 38 | ||||||
So advanced on the same planet isn't an option?
Why are you assuming we have to leave this planet or die by war or aliens (lol)?

We probably would be advanced enough to the point, where we would not have stupid threads like this one anymore...

Think am right in saying, it was a British inventor working on the first what we would sort of see as a computer, yet ran out of money. Then, somthing like 100 years later, the Americans took it and made it work (working out projectiles in WW1). Sooooooo, if he (cant member the guys name to save myself) had managed to work it out, rather than leave it a century till the Americans tried it. Suffice to say, we would probably be, today, where we will be in 100 years from now, if not further (since technology seems to get replaced faster and faster).
Although, I dont think we would quite be at the stage of fighting with aliens, or inhabiting mars lets say. Tho, maybe we would of been able to harness sea water by now, and managed to pull of fusion.
Really is amazing to think, if that guy was given just a little more time, and some more money, we would all be having sex with robots this very instant!!!!!!

If you think about how fast techonological advances have occured during the 20th century, then imagine how things will be 700 years from now. Which is probably how things would have been now if the beginning of the 20th century was infact the beginning of the 14th century.
If we haven't destroyed ourselfs or the planet in war, if a pleague wouldn't have killed us all, than I am pretty sure we would have colonized mars. Maybe other places in the solar system as well. Maglev trains would take you under the atlantic ocean at 4000 km/h or more. Global warming has been delt with if we managed to handle it in time.

You mean Charles Babbage and his two devices, the difference engine and the analytical engine. Both of those were mechanical in design, and he never actually finished designing the analytical engine.Bell wrote:

I don't think that the knowledge existed at that time to build an electronic computer, like the Atanasoff–Berry Computer, which was the first digital computer. Though the British Colosus and American ENIAC were more useful than the ABC ever could have been. It was more of a proof of concept.
Even then, computers were gigantic and unwieldy until the invention of the microprocessor sometime in the late 60's or early 70's.

You need more options. It's basically: 1) Destroyed in some sort of war, or 2) on another planet. I don't think we'd be on another planet, and I don't think we'd all be destroyed in a war. I think at some point we'll definitely all be extinct, but not in 700 years, probably a little longer. Same goes for moving to another planet.
But then again, we've come a long way in just 100 years, so who knows what's possible.

I like the way this guy thinks.Bell wrote:

Everything is so dependent on previous developments that you would have had to take ALL of our current technology (and the education behind it) back to the time or else it wouldn't have made a bit of difference...other than getting you burned at the stake.
Think about it: You take your computer back. There's no electricity...or anything else other than friggin plague. GG. Now go burn, bitch.

Far more advanced, on the same planet...
Probably in another galaxy looking for life.
That would be kick azz.
