Actually, if time machines existed right now, none of us would be able to afford it.
If time machines were invented, I doubt they'd be for sale. Time travel is risky bussiness. People would abuse this more than anything in the world. You'd have people stopping major events that needed to happen, People wanting to stop the death of loved ones, and of course your overzealous terrorist who travels back to rule the world...That's where Jonny Quest comes in.

On a more serious note though, what would the world be like if 9/11 was prevented? Yes it would be great to have our loved ones and our feeling of national security back, but it would be at the price of losing the lessons learned from that event....Yeah, that's my 2 cents right there...
The idea of traveling into the past is a paradox, because anything that happened before, will have always happened.
You can't simply go back five minutes, change your shirt to something else, come back, and have that shirt on. It's a multiversal error. You cannot exist twice in the same dimension.
The leading scientists in this theoretical science have stated that if time travel were possible, it would only be possible to travel clockwise, not counterclockwise.
Think about it. If you could travel in time and you successfully went back in time, prevented something from happening, and returned, wouldn't that event have never happened to begin with? If said event were prevented, then there would be no reason to prevent it, since, at the time of the event's happening (or presumed happening), your future self would've prevented it. It's not possible.
On the other hand, traveling into the future may have no ill effects, but that has yet to be determined. The idea of time travel rejects the notion that everything we do as individuals has a great effect on the overall happenings of the world. If we were busy travelling through the future, how could we be around to do all of the things we would've done had we not travelled to begin with?

On another note, the whole idea of time travel is completely unsound. There's really nothing that can be prevented or erased from time, because had it been destined to be erased, it would've never happened. There is no future in time travel because you're eliminating a factor of this universe; you.
Now, if we're under the idea that when you change something in the past, it just magically changes in the future, that isn't time travel; it's dimensional travel. If you were able to see what's going on in your time before you travel into the past, it'd be the same. If you bothered to prevent whatever event you were trying to prevent, you wouldn't return to your own time, you'd simply travel to some alternate timeline that ultimately has no effects from the event you changed.

There's my two cents.
Oh, and megaman, I just realized something about your age; you're too young to enter legal agreements. Sorry bro. At first it was a matter of likelihood concerning your film, but now you've got The Man to deal with.
Good luck with that.
