what would it be like to go back in time and live in the stone age with all of the knowledge you have now?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Worse, all your knowledge, such as how to purchase good electronics, how to cook using just a microwave, and how price fluctuates with demand wouldn't impress anyone. The locals would probably have extensive knowledge of food sources and gathering techniques, as well as predator evasion, and would think you pretty stupid for not knowing those things. Likely, they would let you get eaten. Also, none of the women would actually look like Barbara Bach or Raquel Welch did in the movies.

M$I would contest this claim. I don't deny that a large number of urban individuals (even those WITH the knowledge of how to survive) would be killed immediately following this...panic, crime, rioting, etc...but there are quite a number of people who do know how to hunt/fish/farm. While it's true that there would be differences and difficulties, and a number wouldn't make it...your still going to see a sizable population of survivors from this. And most hunters know the basics of survival and how to skin/prepare game.

The total number of licenses sold to Iowans and out-of-state hunters fell to 226,108 in 2007 from 233,018 in 2002, a Des Moines Register analysis of state records found.

"Last year there were 238,383 individuals who hunted deer in Georgia - an 11 percent decrease in the number of deer hunters over the 2004-2005 season. Of that number, 81,050 were bow hunters, 52,206 hunted with muzzleloaders and 228,848 hunted with firearms."
But regardless... what it'd be like... well I'd feel awful smart and powerful. I'd know more than anyone, I'd be able to teach them all sorts of things that they'd think were magic. They'd probably think I were a goddess, so I'd get special treatment and they'd worship me. Well, either that or they'd get scared and think I was a demon and then they'd kill me.
I'd imagine it would be frustrating and scary too, though. What would happen when I got a cavity? There's no dentists. What about an infection easily cured by antibiotics? There's no doctors. What about childbirth if I ever wanted a family? I'd imagine that would be much more risky. There would be so much death and suffering all around me that I would feel like I should be able to control, but it wouldn't be in my power to do so.
So it would have its pros and cons, I think. Mostly depending on if they decided to call me a goddess or a demon, though. ;)
