Blog-Off for Babies Week 2 Topic

Welcome to Week #2 of the Blog-Off for Babies! If you are just joining us, you will want to read the two following posts to get all the information about this event:

Well, I think we had a GREAT first round! Lots of terribly interesting entries, thoughtful commentary, and I think it really helped some people to get the juices flowing.   If you didn’t stop by to read the entries from last week, I encourage you to do so and leave some commentary for our participants — they love comments!

TOPIC FOR WEEK #2:

(a bit involved in the explanation, but…interesting, I think.)

You are allowed, through the miracles of science, to travel into the past for a span of no more than 24 hours. You are allowed to take with you ONE piece of current modern technology with which you may change the lives of ONE family that you can visit during your stay. Assuming that there are no long-term, widespread disastrous outcomes from this altering of the timeline, when and where would you go, what piece of technology would you take with you to leave with them and why, and what do you think the experience would be like?

You must choose a time of at least 1909 or earlier to return to. You must be able to physically carry or roll the item along with you. Be aware that it has to actually work with the other resources they have –  IE: they won’t have the Internet, so email isn’t going to work. Etc.

Enjoy, and happy writing!   Spectators, new posts will be available for reading as of Wednesday, July 15th, so stop by and read up then!
