Tell us more about this technology that existed 10,000 years ago that rivaled our current technology, and tell us more about the time period of 2060.
Thanks for everything.

Thank you very much for your kind words, Sir.
In all honesty, I do not miss much of my life at "home." Not to be too crude, but the level of sexual openness is what I miss the most. Orgies
involving men, women, and animals were not at all uncommon.
I find your societies attittude towards all things sexual, especially male genitilia, laughable. In my culture, phallic symbols are quite
important.
I had no wife or child, which is somewhat scorned in my society. But, I fear if I had had a either, I would never have dared to take this mission. I
certainly wouldn't have stayed as long as I have(far longer than I should have) and that would have been a shame.
My device is actually in a phallic shape. It's about fifteen inches and length, and looks very much like bronze. Although it quite closely resembles
what you call a "dildo" it reminds me a bit more of a remote control, because it works in a very similar fashion.
If, for whatever reason, the device were somehow stolen, I have a failsafe mechanism that is surgically implanted in my body. If I activate it in
time, the device will be rendered useless, as will my brain and spinal column.
One of the biggest risks with time travel is the people that you may face. People, as I'm sure you know, can be extremely dangerous.
I remembered when I first visited the year 1928, I was beaten badly with the butt of a pistol, and robbed of all my modern money. Luckily, my zonox
was well hidden in an area no self respecting thug would wish to venture.
Yes, I had quite a bit of trouble in the early 20th. Many people called me a "chinaman" and told me I shoudl be working on the railroads. I can only
assume my somewhat "asian" look confused them. Your racism amuses me quite a bit.
As far as distant future technology, I really find some of the time travel devices quite interesting.
Historical disasters have become nothing but a spectator sport. You wouldn't believe how many time travelers were watching 9/11 whilst drooling with
delight.
They've developed a form of time travel, which will mostly be enjoyed by the well-to-do, where one can go back in time and experience things much
like "virtual reality" without any interaction.
These people can view just about any important event in history, from the signing of the declaration of independence, to the kennedy assassination.
It seems, however, they prefer more of the latter. People have a fascination with death and destruction. They relish it. It's been that way since the
beginning of time. Remember the coliseum?
Anyway, these people watch these horrible events in flocks. I've seen the centers, people grouped togehter wearing head sets and sensors hooked to
their bodies. Smiling while watching carnage from past eras. They eat it up.
And do you know what I find most fascinating about this technology? It explains a great deal of the paranormal phenomenon that people have experienced
throughout history. Ever feel like someone is watching you? You just know they are? Voyeurs.
Ever see something? It's the technology #ing up. Sometimes, even normal people can see these things.
