I sometimes think it would of been interesting to have been alive at different times.

Like there are people who would of liked to be alive during WWII and being on the battle field. I don’t want to have been there myself, but i know some people who would of loved it. I prefer to play the games, much safer. Though i can see there point of view.

Or there are people who would of liked to have been in there prime during the 60s with all the drugs and free lovin‘.

The most obvious for most people is the future. A hi tech future that awaits us.


Myself. I quite like the world as it is now, so i’d like to be in my prime now, 5 years older. So i can experience the world as it is now, but with more age and freedom. As time passes i see the world being locked down and all being very hard to walk around without passports and ID. So in 5 years from now, when i have the funds to travel, there wont be the freedom (like the EU’s ID system you hear on the news).


When would you liked to have lived?

I would have liked to have lived 3 minutes before the Big Bang. So I could claim the honour of the coolest death ever.

(No, I'm serious.)

Space travel would be cool. I remeber when i was younger i wanted to travel around space and see aliens and all.
That want has left me now. Space seems like an empty void (space) at the moment.

I would of liked to live in the 80's, when computers were a new thing and any game someone made was a new idea, apple was just some dude making crappy computers in his garage and microsoft sent you strongly worded letters of comlaint instead of hired goons if you stole their software. It would be great to get into programming everyone was new to it.

With the current state of my body I'd rather be somewhere safer than.. anywhere. Put be 500 years back in time and I'd be useless..

I feel no need to live anywhere else on the time dimension at the moment.

*Me wonders how far we would have advanced if someone of today took their PC back to when computers began, claimed the design as their own and sold it at massive profit. Then watch as research companies pored over it and strived to make it even better.*

Then again...

*Me wonders how far we would have advanced if we took most modern tech back to caveman times and built up there. Also me wonders what their faces would look like if they saw most of our tech :rolleyes: *

Would mean a hell of a lot less French people ;)

And probably no USA. Or anywhere else on the planet. Just one big England. Run by Tony Blair... oh, great.
