Would you prefer to have eyes that were blind to the present, and only able to see what was going to be happening exactly one hour into the future?
Think about it!....

Sorry to sound like an ******, but Such selfish answers!!!
I'd just sit in front of CNN and save the world from disaster and crime again and again.
It would change the world even if it meant little ol' me being miserable!
Come on people!

UNLESS...Someone TRICKED me by creating a FAKE scenario recorded to play in an hour, causing me to become part of an evil plan!!
Yikes!

Wait a minute!
Would that even work?
Unless, the deception is SCHEDULED to automatically play in an hour.
Then I would see it and be fooled!

Far short of expectations. Try again!

Not really because it would ruin surprises and if you were going to die a horrible death that you couldn't get out of you would see the whole thing and then have to wait for it to happen, you would always be bumping into thins because well you can only see things an hour ahead so either you stay put and never move or try to remember where your going to be in a hour so you can walk around, it would also be really confusing seeing things that are not happening and could bring up embarrassing moments, for example you could be sitting in class and see yourself watching a horror film in an hour and then you would be all jumpy and people would think you were a freak! (well I suppose the fact that you can see things an hour ahead would also be a big component in why people would think you were weird)

Technically you saw the present one hour ago. As long as you have a decent memory...
Seeing one hour into the future could be one hell of a benefit. Suppose you had been in the World Trade Center on 9/11...
Or on a beach in Indonesia...
Or that flight to Florida from National Airport way back when.
Yeah, I think I would take those eyes.
Now, take me to the horse races, the casinos, you get the drift. I can afford the entourage.

Such eyes would do me no good because the vision that I would see would be imaginary and nonexistent. When that future hour did arrive, it too would be a vision impossible to live out. I would have to live my life as if I were totally blind and make do in the present.

I dont think it would make a differnece. Becuase lets suppose thats the kind of eyes that we have right now? How would we know the difference? How do we know that what we are looking at right now is NOT the present but the future. And we all have the same eyes...

I have a feeling that the only thing my "future eyes" would be seeing is an endless parade of hospital waiting rooms, because my present sightless body would be walking into walls, hit by cars, mowed down by pedestrians....

5 hours would be better, if you're a bettor. Seeing who wins "the Game" in time to place the bet! Hmmmm. what stocks are making an early run....
That kind of thing would make the greedy happy!

That would be like Visual ESP!!! Ooooh! Your so cool & deep!
NOT!!!! :0)
LOL...You ask some fairly shallow & dopey questions but this is the lamest yet I think...
I have a question for you though. Where do you get your weed?

Well... ultimately you would be living in the present but you would just be an hour ahead of time...so, sure.

you wouldn't last long living the present as if you were in the future.
