well I'm a late 60's early 70's teen ant things aren't much different except for technology. People back then were protesting the Vietnam war, pot was cheaper, LSD was cleaner, gas was cheaper, buy a 3 loves of bread for a buck, people seemed to be closer more neighborly, I took a year and hitchhiked the entire east coast, sleeping where ever at 16 years old......lol whose doing that nowadays, predators of children I don't believe was so rampant if at all. If it was my parents would not have let me hitch hike all over, and live where ever if there was the dangers there are today. I did some wild and crazy things, still was educated, and live to tell about it all. While I was raising my 5 kids would I have let them do what I did back then? No.....only because the maturity level is less per age group meaning: they say that 70 is the new 60, 60 the new 50, 50 the new 40, 40 the new 30, 30 the new 20, so what the new 20 is the new 10? In most cases I believe that. This world is a 1000 times more dangerous than it was when I was in my teens and it ain't gonna stop. The level of responsibility is less today. It wasn't uncommon back in the day for a kid to be out on there own at 17-18 years old and supporting themselves.....how many are doing that today? Most that are trying to attempting to live on their own today in their 20's go running back to mommy and daddy when they hit the first bump in the road of life. I know kids that have completed college and still at home with there hand in there parents pockets.......parents fault? Sure is cuz they don't want to cut that umbilical cord. Kids now for the most part today have no direction what so ever. It's sad and scary cuz there going to be running the country some day. I'm glad that I'm not a kid today.......give me the 60's and 70's any day especially the brand of blues music, girls were more natural, no so self centered. Guys had more guts too, the last of the real men, they wanted to be supportive, responsible.men.....today they're more inclined to be more demanding, expecting, irresponsible, lazy, but more educated with less common sense. I'm happy being a 50 going on 30 guy with morals, ethics, common sense, and a flexible maturity level.

The indisputable fact that technology is ever proved unsuitable in any respect is its finest force. That our suggestions have occasions that if proven might end up them unsuitable signifies that we will be able to scan our suggestions, and whilst they're unsuitable, upgrade them so that they get up to the exams we will be able to presently do. Our theories ought to give an explanation for all of our observations and expect new ones, that method we will be able to discipline them to widespread truth exams. Science does now not declare to be the reality, it claims to furnish the nice units of the truly universe that we potentially can, and are definitely some distance higher than any choice. You betray a massive false impression of the medical system. "Mere" hypotheses and theories? Theory is the maximum, so much prestigious and substantiated a systematic thought can turn out to be, and hypotheses are technology in movement, those, and information and legislation, aren't hierarchical or interchangeable, all of them have exceptional meanings. Understanding the universe makes it no much less lovely or effective, it makes it extra in order it displays much more layers of curiosity to us, and in addition unlocks the secrets and techniques of the universe to realistic software. Religion blinds us to those secrets and techniques, and clouds our imaginative and prescient with superfluous strings and machinations in the back of all of it. I have fun at any time when a systematic thought is proven to be unsuitable, on the grounds that it manner now we have learned whatever new, abolished unsuitable suggestions an prepared the ground for whatever a lot more exciting. I cannot wait till I begin forming theories and having them proved unsuitable. It bears pronouncing once more that the medical system topics our ideals to consistent truth exams. I adore it. And so will have to you. Trust its potential to supply, however deal with technology with skepticism. That's what we scientists do with it, finally.

I like living now, with the technology and all the things we have that make our lives easier. I would love to go back in time, first to the 1840s-1850s, to see how people emigrated to Oregon. They had some guts and determination!! Then I would love to be a rich girl in Victorian London, so I could go to balls and to court! Hey, I can dream, can't I? :)

I like living in the here and now. If I were to go back, say to medieval times, I wouldn't know the first thing about how to survive. Swordfighting is rare these days. If I could go back, though, it would be medieval. Hopefully not anywhere near a plague.

I would like to visit several different times, but only for a few weeks each. I am too spoiled by modern conveniences to want to live in another era permanently. I like hot and cold running water, cars, flush toilets and the ease we have in cooking and cleaning.
I would like to experience life as an American Indian in the southwest in the early 1700's and to spend time in Tennesee just prior to the US civil war. I would like to spend time in France in the 1500's and Egypt in about 10 AD.

I like this time with all of the technology. I don't know what half the world would do with no computers/internet.
