    The best thing i can do is except life as it is and try to grow old(ER) gracefully. Looking back over my life I have had a full productive life and can't imagine things being better at any other time in history or in the future.
    You said it much more eloquently than I did........

    When would I live? Preferably born around 1765 in either Boston, MA or Phila. PA.

    Old enough to see and understand the Revolution, and in the thick of the industrial revolution in the early 1800s.

    I would like to see the future, 100 years - 300 years into the future, but I don't know about living there. With all the threats facing the planet, who know if I'd actually be "living" anyway. But I do like this era, this one is fine with me. Like everyone else said there's good and bad in every page of history, this one is by no means perfect but I feel lucky to be living now anyway.

    Either pre-Celtic times in what is now Ireland (along the shores of Lough Gur, perhaps? Or in the hills of Wicklow) or as a flapper in the 1920s!!

    The very beginning of earth & watching it being formed into mountains, seas, rivers, forests, etc. I bet it was a sight to see.

    But that didn't happen in a person's lifetime - it took millions+ years. Even Methuselah wouldn't have lived long enough to see that.

    I wouldn't change my life today for any other. Each era has it's good and it's bad points.
    I'm perfectly happy with my life as it is today, I sometimes feel a touch of nostalgia for the good old days but there were hard times along with the good back then also.
    I'll leave the future for when it knocks at my door.
