Imagine a friend you went to college with developed a time-travelling device and leapt roughly 2000 years into the past or future. This afternoon, a rip in the space-time continuum opens up next to your computer desk and a photograph falls out. Would you rather it be from the future or past, and what would the photo be of?

2000 years ago would make for a much more beautiful photo than 2000 years in the future, I think.
However, if I could have the one from the future (and IF we - the human race - are still around then) and with my friend knowing what I'd be interested in, the photo might have some clues as to technological advances that humans would have made in the 2000 years, and I could analyse those clues and cause some things to be developed earlier than they would have (example - knowing anti-gravity is possible would stimulate more people to investigate it, thereby hastening the discovery).
Or maybe my friend would be taking a photo of a piece of paper explaining the cure for cancer or AIDS...

The past. It would be cool to see what earth was really like instead of how people think it was. Also I do not think I want to know what the furture holds.
I imagine the picture would have animals and plant life... not sure what else??

future. already know about the past & have an idea of what it looked like. more curious about what humanity will look like in the future, if they will even exist.
