The Past Sucks, The Future’s where it’s at

Posted by David Young

Inspired by this post about how to prepare to meet your time-travelling future self, a friend asked me, “If you had the opportunity to travel 100 years into the past, or 100 years into the future, which would you choose?”

Without hesitation, I’d choose to travel 100 years into the future. Who cares what happened 100 years ago in New Zealand / South Africa? (I’m assuming one rule of time-traveling is that you can’t change the past, so all you’ll be able to do is spectate.)

The future would be much more exciting - flying cars, technology, etc.

100 years ago? Horses, sweaty unwashed humans, no air-conditioners… no thanks! :)
