Google glass.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. ~ George Bernard Shaw

I'd give them this device which plugs straight into the brain, and it allows you to read a book without instantly believing everything it says.

I'd just help the nation I like most and make them become wealthy and healthy.
I won't try to introduce complete strange ideas, because you can't change dumb people who already know close to nothing.
Then start wars and conquer the nations I don't like, without modern technology ofc cause I know too little about that.
whatever floats your goat

They are not ready to use hygiene, much less steam engine, if these were dropped before their faces.  The Romans had both hygiene and labor saving technologies like large scale waterworks.   Men besotted by high Christianity had no use for them.

If I can bring a technology back, it would have to be a disruptive technology that they would actually strongly be tempted to use.    As with any fellowers of religions of piece, men of the middleages would enjoying destroying the works of their fellowmen second only to killing their fellow men.

So I would bring back gunpowder.   This I can guaranty they would use, and it would let the peasants topple men on horses and hasten the end of the disgusting middleages.
