Rules:

  1. The time traveller is able to travel backward and forward through time (max forward is 2074) and they can only transport things that can fit in a small backpack.

  2. You can choose when the 3 hours begin but it has to be in 2024 and once it has begun the timer can’t be reset or stopped.

  3. They will answer to the best of their ability but imagine this is a random person from 2074.

    Ask for the names of the biggest companies over the last 50 years, and roughly when they peaked.

    I’d ask about what industries emerged, and what industries support those emergent industries.

    Basically I’d end up a trillionaire.

      And than you die due to climate change instability.

      But for one brief moment you made your bank account rich.
