Will there be this kind of technology available to do the task?

technically yes...

think about you, YOU yourself aren't actually going forward or backward. (in this case going back in time doesn't work but forward surely is a possiblilty). If the Earth itself is going forward in time but YOU are going at a slower pace than the Earth is, you'd be a man from the past on a planet in the future. Question is this: what if the human race is almost entirely lost to a vast plague or illness... WTF will u do then?!

Oh no no no...
You can go back in time, BUT only as far back to when you first made your time machine

if your able to travel close to the speed of light time for you will slow down so 1 year of travel at high rate could equal 1000 years for those of us on earth

theoritically...

well they've tested with 2 atomic clocks on planes and the one on the plane slowed a little bit each time consistent with the speed and time flown kinda showing that time "slowed" down for the clock that was moving faster


this is true

The earths rotational direction/speed or anything
has nothing to do with it

uhm
but yeah ok

There would be no way to actuly go back
and the going to future isnt actuly like people think it is
Its slowing down your frame of time with high speeds ( i think)


truly, you are either speeding yourself up or slowing down. in theory you are experiencing time dilation, your process of aging may slow as you travel at high speed in the direction of the earths orbit. while your perception of time would change, earth time would pass as usual. likewise if you traveled at a high speed in the opposite direction of earths orbit, time would pass more quickly for you, but would remain the same on earth
