If I had lived any time before... let's say 1960, I would have basically no rights. Soooo I'm gonna have to go with the present. Setting aside that factor though, I think I would still choose to live in the present. I mean, we can fly halfway round the world in less than a day. That is simply amazing.
As far as increased literacy between 1900 and 1950, I really believe our society is more literate than we give ourselves credit for. I see people reading all the time, everywhere I go. Admittedly, I live in a city with tons of public transportation and lots of students, but even so, I see people reading both pbooks and ebooks in abundance.
