What would you take with back to 1958?

Lets say there is some way to travel back to 1958.  You can take three things back with you to show people the wonders of the 21st century However, you are unable to take the time travelling device with you or the entire planet.  What would you take with you? I would take: An Ares IV rocket, two sets of iPhone's and two newspapers, one dated November 5th 2008 and one that shows the collapse of General Motors (you now it is going to happen soon)  What would you take with back to 1958?
My computer, with a crapload of videos on it that show how awesome our technology is. What would you take with back to 1958?
Nothing. AS all human technology is still sufficently primitive, and the distance between 1958 and 2008 is relatively small. I wouldn't see anything as significant worth taking back. I'd be happy in that era with whatever was available. By the way if you took the iphone with you it would have no network to communicate with and would be useless. Also, you can't alter the future as in changing what is happening now. IF that was the case we'd have hundreds of obivous things lying around from the future that tell us what's going to happen ahead of time. But instead all we get are prophets who write their own books.If you go back into time you're stuck there. There is no way to get back as the future didn't happen yet once you're in the past.

The jonas brothers.... and leave them there! :twisted:

Well then time travel isn't possible, or those who learn how to time travel in the future have no reason to travel back to these moments because I'm still waiting to see a historical or a present event that suggests we have seen or experienced technology from the future. So if I'm to believe time travel is possible I have to assume you can't actually bring back technology devices with you that don't exist in that time period.

Dude, this is a question thread on OT. You're talking this way too seriously :| 
What's so great about 1958?

It was 50 years ago i guess... i don't know! :?
Take some modern music and show it to the people of that time. I wonder what kind of reactions they would make. ~ de arimasu :P
I don't know... all I know is that my mom was born that year. Maybe a current photo of her so I could show her folks what she'll look like at 50 :P
