Ask HN: What would you do if you knew the future?

This is a thought experiment. Let's assume somebody sent you back in time, to the year 1996. Knowing what you know now, you could start companies called Google, Wikipedia, Twitter, Facebook etc. and do everything right from the beginning.

Would you succeed?

Also, would people like Larry, Sergey, or Mark Zuckerberg be virtually unknown in the tech world?

(Surely, there's much more you could do with your knowledge of the future but let's focus on starting companies for now.)
