Re: Which way would you go

I voted 'back' because I don't believe that humans have got much future!

Re: Which way would you go

Back. I could choose a different career path, and ask my late grandparents all the questions I wish I had done.

Regards, Chris

Re: Which way would you go

Back for me. I'd go to prehistoric times to see what facinating flora and fauna were around and to see hunky cavemen running around in their furry underwear

Re: Which way would you go

I'm another one for going back - I'd be interested in fonding out about the Neolithic times a bit more and also it would make a nice break from the industrial / materialistic ages.....relaxing not to have to go a machine speed or have it buzzing around you

Re: Which way would you go

Firstly Tufftie should that be fondling or finding when you typed "fonding out about the Neolithic times"

I'm with everyone else, back please, for so many reasons and so many different lengths of going back years and decades for wildlife, music and dance, centuries back to see what it was like during the 10th to 13th centuries to see what it was like around the times of the Crusades and then way back for cave women and there fluffy underwear

It seems as far as WAB is concerned there is no future

Being greedy I'd love to go back + see the wildwood with bears, wolves, lynx etc; go + twitch a Great Auk; but I'd love to go forward too + see what we've gained (+lost) in our countryside.

Re: Which way would you go

I would go into the future find out the lottery numbers for a few months then come back to now & start winning the lottery every week
With the money i could build my own teleporting machine & go back & forwards when ever i wanted

You are already traveling forwards in time - at the rate of 1 day for every 24 hours!

But you could go back and make a fortune betting on a multitude of things, like Spurs never winning the premiership
I would go back and sort out a number of things in my personal life

Future - to the end of civilization. Hopefully I could then come back and warn people.
