Basically the title, you need to use the skills you have now and be a productive member of society.

I don’t mean go back and show the wheel or try invent germ theory etc.

For example I’m a mechanic i think I could go back to the late 1800s and still fix and repair engines and steam engines.

Maybe even take that knowledge further back and work on the first industrial machines in the late 1700s but that’s about it.

    Some of the original plastic reactors still run where I work so 1950’s is the oldest operational unit and wasn’t modernised. No computer. The corpses of the older stuff remain abandoned and in place. Not much different, just much less production rate and smaller.

    1940’s I suppose.

    I’d be fine in any time period where I could still understand English spoken however. I don’t care what I do for a living. Can’t remember how far back that would be, Rob Words surely has a video about this.
