You're transported back to 1994 with all your current knowledge and $50,000. Your goal is to create the world's biggest online shopping company.

How do you go about it?

As a further thought experiment, if you travelled back to 1960 with all your current knowledge and the goal of becoming the richest person on earth, what businesses would you start?

I don't know enough about the technical aspects and such. I'd have to go back to like 1991 and spend those 3 years learning.

But if anything I would get on American airlines flight 11 and stop 9/11. At least one of them. And then use that fame to be oracle-esque about the future.

The same with 1960 and saving JFK.
