If you could do it, would you live in an other age?

When would you live, if you could do it? You would go back in the past, let's say in the 1800's? Or another time? Or would you prefer to travel in the future?
There are times when I really wish to go back in the past. I would really love to go back to the beginnings of humanity and see how it was, although I would probably be an invisible person, I would really like to watch many things which happened. And I would travel from age to age, making pictures and everything and many things would be solved.
How about you? Ever had such a feeling?

I've always wanted to go back in the past and live in the 19th century or the Middle Ages. Those were periods of time when so much things happened for the first time.
My friends don't share my taste. They think the inconveniences would be too much.
But other things were easier then, I think.
And if I could travel in time, I would go back just a couple of years in my life and change some minor things in it.

I read somewhere that in the past everybody was jealous on royalties and nobility, because they had to pay them taxes, but they had to give away maximum 30 percent of their income. I think nowadays it is worse, because we give the state much more and don't get back almost nothing. So I would definitely want to experience how people lived back in the 19th century. First I would only like to witness the type of life they had, and then if I would like it, interfere there.

The noblemen felt pretty much like Gods and treated the rest of the population like slaves.
But imagine what life could a person have then with today's knowledge. She or he could easily pass as a clairvoyant.

I would certainly choose the age of Adam and Eve where everything is fresh and beautiful. This earth our homes is already been destroyed too many times by human itself and I felt sad about it. A beginning of times will be a good time too live.
