1900's - the Belle Epoque, with fine manners, fancy parties, and refined people
1910's - Struggles of war, the changing era, the rise of women at work and the destruction of class divisions.
1920's - Parties parties parties alcohol jazz. Forgetting the past and moving forward as fast as possible.
1930's - Hard work and the rise of the big band, dance halls, spend thriftness, and mounting international relations
1940's - homefront culture, wwii, the rush of new technology and the ushering in of a new political era.
1950's - Elvis, kitchens of the future, return to family values and sock hops.
Actually I'm all for going before the 20th century.
I'm for the latter half of the century, myself.
Forget it, I'm staying in the here and now.

Present day, thanks very much. I want my medicine. And my dentists. And my hygiene. Hot running water. Flushing toilets. Humane treatment of the mentally ill. Carnegie Library network. The internet. Freedom to attend college, have a job, and vote. Women's rights in general. Civil rights. Conscientiousness about racism, sexism, homophobia, religious fundamentalism, etc. All the music of the past several decades that I'd otherwise not know. Musical theater. Good translations of foreign works (not bowdlerized through a Victorian filter, either!). Wearing trousers.
I'm pretty sure that in another time, I would have died of bronchitis or the flu, or else the resulting asthma. And before that, my teeth probably would have rotted out. I mean, if I could have a guarantee of good health, I'd like to take a little time-machine *tour* of all these times...but I wouldn't go to stay. If you weren't a white, upper-class male, it would get pretty awful pretty fast.
