Time Travel
A Charlie
I'd travel back to the year I was born, and live my life again, but only if I could know then what I know now! I'd love to see my parents
and grandparents again. I'd persuade my dad to stop smoking, so that he wouldn't die so young. On the other hand, in the present, I
have two wonderful grown-up children and two precious grandchildren.Perhaps the answer is to make the best of the present and
stop hankering after the past. If I could visit other times just for a day, I'd love to meet my parents as children, and go into the future
to meet the great-great grandchildren I'll not live to see!
B Chloc
I would not exchange today for any previous era. I have studied a lot of history and whilst I would be interested in certain eras there
would be difficulties. For example,Tudor times- interesting, but as a Catholic I might have had my head chopped off; eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries-exciting, but too many petticoats to wear, never mind about corsets. Then there is the lack of education and
opportunity for women to consider, and the lack of medical knowledge. No,today is the best time to live. Having said that, I would
not mind the opportunity to take tea with Miss Austen-she would have been enormous fun.
C Emily
Go back in time? Who'd want that? I mean, as soon as some people spotted you, you'd be the odd one out. And if you went back in
time with all that futuristic equipment on and, for example, the alarm clock on your watch went off,you would be denounced as a
devil; tortured, quartered and drawn, and then burnt at the stake! Travel to the future and you'd be a museum artifact! You'd be
seen as some sort of primitive beast! I'm fine where I am at the moment, thank you. Also, to those of you intending to prevent the
election/birth of various politicians, it won't
work: if you sueceeded, then you would have no incentive to do so, and thus wouldn't have gone.That's the
paradox.
D Jack
I have always dreamed of being a sailor in the merchant navy between 1920 and 1940.At that time,travelling to foreign ports like
Yokohama, Saigon, Rangoon, Surabaya and such would have been the same as space travel is today.Imagine coming home after a
long voyage, and telling the people in the pub all about your travels! You'd have such stories to tell! I have seen the majority of
the world's cities now, and most look exactly the same as cach other.If you want to travel somewhere that is still unique today,
without the time machine, sec Asia but steer clear of package tours. And hurry; do it now before it all becomes McDonaldised.
ELiam
I'd go back maybe about five years and try to do a better job this time.I would never have ended the relationship with the love of
my life. I wish I could've known better, and understood then what I understand now.I would also stay at college. I'd register 250 of
the best internet domains possible, so by now I'd be a billionaire without having Jone a thing But I wouldn't be selfish; I would
change the world for the better with the money.Money can save lives and do unbelievable things in the right hands. Plus, I would
have the girll Oh well,back to reality.
