time travelling would be dangerously addictive. you'd forget about your loved ones, and you'd forget about your life. you would spend all your life watching other people, forgetting about yourself.
I'd fuck around with history just for a good laugh. They won't know the difference. Then, right before I die, I'm going to travel really far back in time and die there so that I won't be able to fuck anything up in the future....or is that how it works? God, now my head hurts.
Time travelers will still age at 'normal' time in relation to their perspective. Go to the past for 10 days, come back to right now, 10 days older. Eventually, you will grow old today. Not worth it.
That's what history books are for. Sure we'd solve "Who shot JFK" but on the other hand, it doesn't really matter anymore since that was a long time ago. As for teleporting, I've always wanted teleportation. Sure, if you wanted to go immoral, either way you could easily take the funds of others (sports betting/lottery, best fortune teller ever; priceless museum artifacts, your neighbor's tv, money in the bank), but if you're staying moral, there is absolutely no reason to time travel except to help with your memory/relive those experiences. I think, though, to relive experiences multiple times detracts from the "specialness" of them. But you save probably months worth of travel time if you have the ability to teleport, giving you the ability to live through more life experiences than normal.
If you understand math and science and many other philosophical texts and other abstract ideas, then you could go into the past, explain it to the great minds of the time and in the future/our present time now, we could be further advanced than we currently are simply because we would've have more "time" working on the same ideas, just for longer. Cancer could be cured, we could have all the things described in Back to the Future and science fiction novels and films. I chose knowledge over laziness.

My laziness overcomes my nostalgia.
Sam Dunn
I would want to live in the here and now. Think of all the neat bank heists I could pull off. You know, if I was into crime like that...
eric
you could win the lottery every week!! c'mon ppl!! not to mention you'd kno more than everyone else in the world!
Zach Dunn
Eric brings up a good point. Strictly on observation of past and present, you'd be able to get a lot more done.
Cait
yea but if you could teleport, there wouldnt be anymore long car rides. i could go home for the weekend without a 5 hour train ride.

Paris for dinner, Hong Kong for after dinner drinks.

If you can affect the space/time continuum then what's the point?
CletusJenkins
You ever heard of sports betting?

Dreamkiller
I'd become the next Doctor.
Razul22
*dreamkiller* We would be locked in endless combat through time and space. Only one of us can be the true doctor.
AbsentFriendHex
Psh, no point in time traveling if I wouldn't be able to affect the space/time continuum.

Time travelling just fucks things up, why try?
thestralpixie
The Doctor wasn't the last Time Lord, after all.

Love how everyone assumes the cool part of time travel is backwards. Who gives a shit about the past, I'm going to the fucking future!
np11
correct my mistakes,win the lottery,cheat on exams and meet important dead people...what else do u want???
TheCrazyWolf
This would be so easy to make a SHIT ton of money, using the Jumper technique. And YOUR A JUMPER for fucks sake! That kicks time travels ass.
RosesareGrey
I agree w/JForrestWQ.

Do I get to do it with a portal gun? Because THAT would be cool.

You have the possibility to find the cure to living forever if you travel to the future. With teleport you can only do so much...

The description rules out the only possibility of time travel, good thing I ignored it.
jazzhands
Eh, planes are similar to teleportation from the passenger's end.
Blake Bennett
Doctor. Who.
blombaloooba
Would totally hate to fuck up history.
DarklordTheo
Reenact the Robot Chicken segment $&@!s with Time Machines!
Pete
Tut tut tut Come on guys, stop time, move to next location, start time = Teleport
