It's time to play a game.

You, with all the possessions on your person, in your pockets and jacket/coat pocket and if you have a school bag or bag for work are somehow sent back in time.
Unfortunately you do not survive the process of this method of travel, but your body is found, and lets say its 1950, you are taken to the police and then the military for scientific investigation.

What on your body and in your pockets and bag can be used by these scientists of the last century to deduce what the world is like today?
what would they get right?
what do you think they would get wrong?


Imagine the roswell autopsy tapes that were big in the 90's, but its your bag of crap that they are looking through.

>sheets of paper with mathematical notes
There will still be universities.
>ancient cellphone
Telephones can be carried around in the future. Also text messages can be sent. Sudoku will be the primary source of entertainment.
>all else
Nothing to see here. What a disappointment.

I like to have little luggage and don't really need toys like an iphone.

Nothing, I hate carrying shit in my pockets.

I have on a leather coat, blue jeans, and boots. I think they had that shit in 1950.
