With all our technology now, I was wondering if anyone these days could have survived then.

Would you want to live in another time period? If so, when?

I think the living bit would be easy.
It would be the trying not to die bit that would be a challenge.
We have such a different way of approaching life and what is happening around us that I imagine it would be very strange.
We have a value system based in our time.
The technology really is a tool to achieve things with, there were different things to achieve then. However hey had their own effective technology. How many people here could spin yarn/milk cows/weave rugs/build houses/tend crops.
This is what many people would have needed to do then.
Oh, and die a tragic death at the end of a short (but probably fulfilling) life.
Many advances we now take for granted would have been real life or death issues. Things like childbirth, infant mortality , anti-biotics etc.
From an intelectual point of view it would be really interesting to be inside the head of a person from the 12th century but I wonder if we would have the patience to live their life.
