Sending a phone or some other piece of consumer tech back would be useless, they would have no means of mass producing them with current production methods or fully understanding how it works, and it wouldn't necessarily advance them further. Computing technology wasn't really as primitive as most people think, modern concepts like multiprocessing or virtualization were already present in mainframes and supercomputers, it was always expense of implementation that held back the "mainstream" market.

>>54570454
This is pretty spot-on. If you sent back a solar-powered Kindle loaded with the indexed records of the current US patent office (which even with non-technical patents removed, and digitized, might be much too large to pack into even a refridgerator-sized brick of hard drive with a Kindle interface, I dunno), and a few books detailing the history of technological development in various fields so they would know what to look up schematics for, you'd have the maximum amount of technological progress possible.
They can't just see what to make if you want to leap forward, they need to see how you did it. If a UFO covered with some strange half-organic polymer teleported into Silicon Valley today it's not like we could just reverse-engineer how to make that.
>>54570626
Religion argument aside, what you actually want to do is prevent the collapse of the Roman Empire. Good fucking luck.
>>54570626
On the contrary, the Dark Ages would have lasted much longer without Franciscan friars copying books, preserving technology, and creating inventions.
Stopping the Muslim armies from burning the Library of Alexandria would be an incalculable boost to technological development though.
>>54570626
Our best bet at stopping the Dark Ages is sending musket blueprints and a gunpowder recipe to the Romans.

The amount of work that would be required to do it successfully would be immense though.
So you go and grab patents for all the useful inventions of the past 60-odd years? This takes a lot of careful judgement as to what's vital in the steps of leapfrogging and what can be skipped. Not super useful, all told. But okay, you know better. Now you go grab all the patents for the technologies required to build those: manufacturing machinery, materials science, and so on. This is WAY MORE STUFF than you had to get just for the devices themselves.
But that's still not enough, because a huge portion of tech/business knowledge is never written down. It's passed between people orally. Some of this is little tricks that make the job easier, but sometimes it's the entire reason that certain design decisions were made, or even vital steps in the process of creating the device/chemical/etc.
So now you've got to go and interview all the surviving people who helped make these technologies. And pull out the useful bits, match them to the technologies in question, and so on.
Then you have to make sure the device you're sending doesn't get locked away for decades with only certain people allowed access, limiting its use. You've got to make sure it is robust enough to continue working after component failure, which means less room for data.
And there's still plenty of room to fuck this up even if you got all that right.

My idea of "documentation" wasn't so they could copy it directly though, it was about spreading ideas and abstract concepts, to *potentially* introduce them to more efficient or practical means of using and improving what they already have.
It's absolutely implausible to assume that a couple of researchers would be able to accurately replicate the achievements of an industry that stands on four decades of advancement and infrastructure, but maybe they could learn a thing or two from them.
>>54571144
Nope. Nuclear weapons aren't as efficient, as you think they are. It's a weapon against cities.
I disagree with those that say they would not be able to interpret a modern piece of technology. With an Oscilloscope and some mathematic reasoning you could figure out what a lot of components do. They wouldn't be able to replicate it or manufacturer it but they would learn hell of a lot which would be reflected in their future work.

>I have no idea how large the server racks are at the US patent office.
me neither, but we can probably estimate.
http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/ac/ido/oeip/taf/h_counts.htm says, since 1950, total of about 7 million patents awarded (utility and design).
http://patentlyo.com/patent/2007/12/does-size-matte.html indicates that most patents up to 1990, averaged about 4000 words. Since then the number has about doubled, but there is a lot of variation and I'm not sure this includes both classes of patent. Let's just say they're averaging ~5000 words overall for the entire period of 1950-present.
The average number of characters in a word, in English, is between 5 and 6. Since these are mostly technical documents we'll use 6.
Assuming no data compression, that leaves us with 2E11 characters (bytes) which is 200GB.

But with the feature set of modern chips, it would take years, and likely not lead you as far as you'd think. Many of the technologies we employ in personal and embedded computers today aren't really new concepts, they were shit we were already doing in big iron ages ago.
It's the manufacturing processes that really improve the most. And you'd get a lot further sending someone information and ideas rather than some complicated hunk of shit they know nothing about.

Images though would add potentially quite a bit more. Most of these patents have multiple diagrams of their construction.

A modern pier, which is basically just a pure slab of concrete, will be mostly unscathed by a nuclear blast short of immediate proximity, with just a small portion of the surface eaten off--we're talking a matter of inches, not feet.
Nukes aren't nearly as powerful as most people think they are. Matter of fact, the duck and cover drills taught in the 50s would have been quite successful in mitigating injury; most injury during a nuke blast comes from being cut by flying glass from blown out windows, and then from having parts of collapsing building fall on you. The reason those drills were stopped was due largely to Soviet propaganda efforts in the US convincing people that it would be useless and that everyone would die anyways (which we saw when the USSR records were opened up). The Soviet's own internal efforts on the other hand stressed how a nuke war was very much survivable by the majority of the populace, which is supported by the data from nuclear tests on simulated towns.

agreed, but not an intractable amount. Patent images are black-on-white line art, you could probably achieve <20% compression ratio over the entire database.
Obviously having the diagrams would aid in quick understanding but I do not imagine they are universally critical. Many could probably be removed outright without making their attached patents unreadable.
>>54571574
True, though that would add to the workload for setting this up (which was my main point--that this isn't a "DL and toss it through" type of task, but a "okay really plan this out with a lot of smart people and a lot of money" task).
One can only imagine the unintended consequences. We might see no personal computers but instead giant mainframes that people can have a terminal to in their homes. Or even with PCs, it might be that there is no internet as we understand it. Might be that the USSR is so freaked out by the hyperfast tech acceleration in the US that a nuke war starts.

The large shoulder mounted Pyrex tube spews forth combusted aromatic compounds in a forward arc.
3 floating fireballs rotate around the cauldron at the aft end of the tube condensing and combusting raw aromatic compound material building up pressure that is consequently ejected through the tubular fore gasket. The weapon has two modes: Primary fire yields a sticky black resin like substance that covers targets as well as the environment. The Secondary fire emits noxious grey vapors that will react on site with the black resin. Catalyst Cannon causes a green acidic mold to grow dealing damage over time to affected units. Damage is traded at 50% when units come into contact with a resin covered environment and a 50% slow is seen as the return.

Religion is an unparalleled organizer of people - especially at a time when so much of the world was such an unknown. Even now, getting rid of religion would make a lot of stupid people unproductive.
That's why your freedom-loving government hates it so much and why your government does everything it can to tell you that religion is wrong. Why would a government like anything that can be used to reduce its power? Religions tell you where you can go, who you are allowed to be, things you are allowed to own... all things that western governments now control.
Preventing religion would prevent governments of those times from having that kind of control over their people, especially their stupid people. You wouldn't want stupid people to run around uncontrolled, would you?

This, all of this.
Send them the movie on a common medium they would know how to use, and send a note saying:
"2016 here, we need your help, show this to every man, woman, or kid in the world, and say this is what happens when you don't get educated. This film is real, and is what 2016 looks like."

Before nuclear disarmament we had enough to make the Earth uninhabitable, 8 times. I'm sure there's still enough.

I'd send Richard stallman + Linus Torvalds ->Linux would be developed much earlier + Windows would never exist

Nuclear bombs don't detonate due to impact. They're triggered by barometric sensors so they trigger at a specific altitude.

I like posts like these. It seems like a great idea until you realize they have the technology, just not the means to create something so advanced. Your best bet for advancing microchips would be to send back a lithography machine for the current size.

What are you talking about!? Yes, 50s hardware could not run Linux. No, that does not mean it's bloated. 50s hardware would have difficulty running modern BIOS.
