What would you use a Time Machine for?

Time Travel is easy. Here's an example... KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS! By Art Linkletter. The owner of the company that published this book in 2005 was on Art Linkletter's show in 1943 when it began.

 

Art Linkletter's show aired 77 years ago now.

I might sound weird but i would use it to study, research, an document cultures that have been destroyed long ago (mostly by the mongol empire in east europe). Then i might be able to see if elves were real (not likely)

To go back in time and throw out my mother's aluminum coffee maker which likely caused her health to deteriorate from nearly daily use (she died of unresolvable health complications 2 years ago now)...

1. I'd like to go back to 2014 and pick up a certain small collie puppy before the monsters who bought her had the chance to abuse her.

And if I'm allowed another trip...

2. I'd like to see the Library of Alexandria (before it was burnt of course). There are a few books it would be wonderful to have been able to read.

I'd send everyone back to the time and place when they called those days the good life.  Then they could compare it with their present life.  Of course none of them would be allowed to do anything outside the time machine so they could not change the past any, just make notes so they don't do the same things they didn't like in the present they learned from their past while viewing it.

Maybe make the present a better place when they got back and out of the machine in the building the same day and the same second they left.

That way they could do their best from that time from then on.
