Question: If you can choose any 100-year span in human history to live, which one would you chose?
My answer was 1869 to 1969. Imagine the world without cars, electricity, airplanes, telephones, skyscrapers... You start from there. And then within 100 years man lands on moon. You would have witnessed two biggest wars in human history, multiple cultural revolutions, art revolutions, medical revolutions... It would be the most interesting years in the human history to live. Now compare that to our time span :).
- sosuke 11y agoI am quite happy to be missing out on my share of world wars thought I read plenty about them. Otherwise I often think I was born too late, that I missed so many opportunities if I had just been a few years older. If I had only bought Google when I had the chance, if I hadn't been such a young fool, if I was in the work place during the boom I could have gotten lucky. Oh man the ifs go on forever. So I throw up my hands and look around to see if I can avoid an if today.
