I love my current life, well except for my current job, with access to the internet and the technology at your finger tips. But I do admit at times I spend WAY too much time on the internet, and this is AFTER I unsubscribed to WoW!
I clearly miss the days of my youth, born in 1971. I miss the simpler times and technology, where you had to actually sit and talk to people face to face, where it seems that this is a lost form of communication. I like watching classics like Hawaii 5-0, Kojak and other shows from the 60's and 70's as I grew up watching them. I like to look in the background to see the pristine land, the cities ( I grew up in the country ) and even the fashion and cheesy mood music playing during the show. I don't know why, even in the simpler times, with less technology it seemed as if more people were more civil and literate, not so obsessed with pop culture and reality show celebrities.
But if I had to choose any era I'd choose Revolutionary America. I love the history of that era. So much changing in the world at that time with technology, political ideology, the small infrastructure of the colonies etching out it's place in history. America at it's purest. To explore the land and see it before we changed it beyond repair. To encounter the native cultures, hopefully minus the aggression, bloodshed and disease. Actually seeing the first Americans with limited influence from the Europeans. I am part American Indian, so this always lurks in the back of my mind.
I like colonial history, politics, technology and so much more. It truly fascinates me. I think this would be my choice. I don't romanticize it as I know it was harsh times, especially as the colonies were adapting to life in the New World. But to me, it would be a world of new experiences, never ending wonder and a chance to see the Americas near pristine environments.
