5 pages and no one's yet mentioned the scientific method??
You'd bring the Enlightenment forward by over 600 years and everything else would follow. Hygiene, agriculture, the printing press, democracy, the downfall of religion, all the sciences etc.
I suspect that the scientific method has been independently discovered several times throughout history but either religion and dogma kept killing it or some small group got rich off it and then forgot it when they no longer needed it.
I do remember doing an on-line quiz many years ago that referred to the an episode of the Outer Limits once where some guy went back in time and found that he only had knowledge of how to use modern day technology and didn't know any of the basics that would actually be useful, like how to make cement. I think the quiz graded you on how far civilisation would progress based on the number of correct answers you chose.
