Forwards???

Forwards for me.  No point in going back in time if you can't change anything anyway.  Not too far forward, maybe just a glimpse of my life in 15-20 years.

How can we chose forwards - we dunno wots gonna happen

Fascinating question EC. I'd probably go forward fifty thousand years to see what becomes of us and if the world is any better.

We can't change anything so going either way.............

If we could change stuff though, I'd go backwards. Knowing what I know now I'd change a few things that I've either done wrong or that went wrong in my life 

I think humans will be extinct by then Rosie

Indeed Sweet ... that had crossed my mind too 

I think humans will be extinct by then Rosie

Will it all be robots and cyborgs like in Terminator do you think? 

Erm . . .

The Crucifixtion

9/11

Nuremburg rallies

Hiroshima

I'd definitely go forward...a long way forward.... just to be nosy like Rosie ^^  

I wouldn't want to go forward or back and see my own lifetime, cos I think that has the potential to be a bit of a sad experience, especially if you can't change anything! I wouldn't want to go back to happy times then find I missed them on my return. And what if you went forward and saw something you didn't like? Much safer just to live your life the once, never knowing what's coming, good or bad.

Probably more like Wall-E cleaning up our polluted planet  

We don't want a ruddy philosophy lesson.

Ah, there's a point 

You didn't answer the question properly 

I agree with you Ducky, I'd avoid my lifetime too. It would be too bittersweet to go back for only 24 hours - and potentially headwrecking to go forward... what if the future wasn't so good 

Tell me how?

The question was........would you go forwards or backwards in time if you could? 

You silly silly person - its obvious they're all events from the past

The question is "where would you go"

Oh yeah, silly me. I didn't read properly did I?

Answer above ^^^^

This has thrown up some interesting discussions. I stuck in the rules so as to avoid discussion on rules and so people can think more about when and where they would go to.

I'm struggling with one trip back in time and one forward. I would like to go back and see the dinosaurs but I would also like to go forward in time maybe 500-1000 years and see where we have got to in terms of technology, space travel, medicine and planetary management and preservation and also if my football team ever win anything 

Which one would I go for - the jury is out.

*assumes superior posture*

 . . . whatever that looks like

The earth will be radio-active and we'll be living on the moon - Isaac Asimov said so....

Ah, but are we not all equal? 

The instructions were that you only get ONE jump!

No (briefly)

Give me some levity !!

I had to look that one up

And you want us to believe you are superior?

I was - however briefly

Could well be right   

Or it could be ruled by cats. 

Haha! 

What makes you say that EC? 

Or it could be ruled by cats. 

Feline Overlords! Eeeeeek  

Because they always strike me as creatures that know more than they are letting on.

Like Kat from Red Dwarf?

Listen - levity means ... erm, .... dammit !!!
