When I was playing Timesplitters I thought of this question that I pondered about for quite a while; what if you went back to, let's say, 1996 and brought your computer and all your essentials with you. Would you still be able to use Firefox, Steam, all the programs you have installed on your computer? And if you brought your DSL/Router also for connectivity - would it still be functionable? And if you can then if you went into Steam Community would you not find any members, groups, etc. since technically you're the only person on the planet [in that time era] who has these pre-designed programs from the future?
Steam community is a web site or an app so it wouldn't ever work, all the games would not run, well you could play single but not multiplayer. Heck Steam wouldn't work at all cause it wouldn't connect cause there's nothing to connect too.
Programs would run, the Steam server wouldn't exist, though, so you're fucked there. Firefox wouldn't exist either, so that wouldn't run either. And I doubt the DSL would work as well.
I might be wrong though. Go back in time and tell me.

There'd be no support for DSL, there'd be no support for servers for Steam unless you played only single player games (which ought to work fine). As for Firefox, it would probably work, except it'd be really boring. It would exist on your computer--just not anywhere else.
