What era would you like to live in and why?

This fits in with a couple of other threads.

There is 7+ decades of experience here on the forum so perhaps we can share some experiences.

I would like to live now in the digital age because it means I am connected to the world.

Also everyday living is vastly easier due to modern engineering and technology.

Actually there are many more reasons.

However, pace of life and overwhelming choice are 2 negatives of now for me.

If I had to live in another time though I would like to be wealthy and part of the Bloomsbury group in the early 20th century.

How about you?

  • There's lots of periods I'm interested in and would like to visit and take a look at - I think if you had a reasonable amount of money and education,  the late 19th century/early 20th century when the railways were at their peak and cars were a rarity would have been interesting. Probably more so if you were a man.

    I'd like to visit pre-1066 England to see what it was like - and observe from a safe distance.

    A Cistercian monastery at the height of the Middle Ages would also be pretty wonderful to see.

    Other than that, I think I'm happy to be alive now. Vaccines and advanced healthcare tip the balance for me, but it's a mixed bag, as with all historical periods.
