I'd like to go back to the mid to late 1970s. That was the best era for Ford pickups! Also, the custom van scene was at it's peak back then. Plus, there was alot of really cool rock music coming out in that era by bands like Boston, REO Speedwagon, Kiss, AC/DC, Supertramp, the Eagles, etc. There were alot of good quality TV shows back then too, like Rockford Files, Starsky and Hutch, All in the Family, and Three's Company.

My biggest concern about going to the past would be the lack of 'modern' medicine. We tend to take things like antibiotics for granted now. How many of us here would be alive today if we had not recieved antibiotics, or some other modern medicine at one time in our lives?
Having said that, I think it would have been pretty exciting to have lived at the beginning of the 20th century. The invention of the airplane and the motorcycle! So much emerging technology at that time. I have no talent with electronics, or computers, but I think my mechanical abilities would have been very useful in that era. I would love to have had a motorcycle and been involved with airplanes at that time. WWI would have been terrible to live through, but the post war "barnstorming" days would have been thrilling!
Going to the future would be both exciting, and scary. Who knows what would await? Advanced technology? Post nuclear war wasteland? Utopia? Police state and lack of freedom? While it would be the biggest gamble, I think going to the future would be the most exciting prospect.
