gollark: Anyway, see, cyber, your knowledge of modern-day things are probably *not* amazing cutting-edge knowledge until maybe 1600, but then you can't do much because they lack the technology to do much.
gollark: If you want "much better computers" it will be harder, of course.

gollark: Although you'd have to deal more with problems of electrical engineering than actual computing.
