> Nobody would want to live in the world like 100 years ago I for one would definitely want it. That's my favourite period of time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_%C3%89poque https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_%C3%89poque and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann%C3%A9es_folles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann%C3%A9es_folles Very active, very interesting times: lots of scientific breakthrough, development of recent theories, lots of experimentations, while a great part of science is still, and for the last time in history, rather accessible. Travel to the whole world is possible, if you can afford it, while exploration is still possible and a few discoveries are to be made. Railway transportation everywhere in the most remote places, like mine. 3 times as many people and 10 times as many shops as now in such places. Not everyone packed in gigantic conurbations with abandoned places elsewhere. Education, hygiene, medicine already pretty developed (not as much as now, and not as well spread, but much closer to now than to the middle ages). Technical knowledge and devices available (or very soon to be) to ease hardest works. Great times if you were wealthy. Shitty times if you were a miner, or one of many factory workers, or a peasant in the wrong place. Quite okay times otherwise.
