    Time travel (even subject to it actually being real) doesn't alter the validity of criteria within academic measurement. The '21st century' doesn't 'become meaningless' if time travel is possible.

    From a consumer point of view, accessibility to music has changed massively, in as much as most music may be heard online and freely downloaded (both legally and illegally), technology to store and play music has evolved greatly to the extent that people now listen to music on their mobile phones and accept mp3 standard quality as acceptable where in the heyday of "hifi", valve amps and speaker placement were considered far more important.

    As an aside, my own view is that the extent to which this technology has influenced (or otherwise even created) a certain type of morality is more interesting.

    All references to time become meaningless if:
    a) time travel is possible; AND if:
    b) time travel allows alteration of timelines.

    Otherwise I agree with you.

    I'm pretty sure that's be a really bad thing.

    If you can travel through time, what do you call it then?

    There's a difference between viewing an event and interacting with it.

    So there's physical time travel - interaction.
    or time travel as in watching a repeat on the TV - knowledge, but not interaction.
