One of my favorite thought experiments is imagining being able to bring someone forward from history, and see his reaction to modern times. Showing Ben Franklin a modern home, or showing Gutenberg a library.

Wouldn't it be lovely to see Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and his reaction to Obama's election?

Even better: W.E.B Dubois, and Sojourner Truth. :)
