If we had invented time machines and could go back to any time in Earth’s history, where would people go? You can keep everything you know today, but take nothing modern back with you. IN other words, you retain your knowledge but not your possessions. Now I know people want to go back and design the first computer, keep in mind that it would require strong financial resources back then too.
Would they go back to the 17th, 18th or 19th century, perhaps before?
What about the 20th? Up to the 1920’s it was a pretty rough time for all, but simpler if deemed harder too.
1930’s, we could relive prohibition? How about the 1940’s, would you go back and join your ancestors at war, to stand by their side and fight with them? Again knowing what you know today?
1950’s, perhaps those cool cars and ‘nice’ women in pooodle skirts?
1960’s, relive man’s lunar landing, buy a stock Mopar with a Hemi? Be a greaser?
1970’s I don’t think too many people would be keen on bell bottoms, though today’s fashion makes me wonder if it’s that far out of date.
1980’s (my most fun era), LaCoste t-shirts, Duran Duran, The Petshop Boys and that oh so wonderful arena Metal era.
1990’s, did actually anything happen in the 90’s?
New Millenium? Maybe someone could wake up The White House and give them foresight as to the problems they will create in Iraq or at least get all the people out of the WTC in time (serious hero status anyone)?
I think I’d rather go back to the 80’s but I have a feeling it would not be the same if time machines were around, I think it would be a pretty bust era to live in now, seems to be a lot of 80’s folks around. I’d probably do the 50’s through 80’s, wash rinse repeat as needed.
You?
