Assume you could teleport 100 years into the past or 100 years into the future, which one would you choose?
Obviously you could alter the future of the world assuming you went back 100 years so could prevent crisis's from happening and perhaps even save lives of some people.

I would love to go to the future but not to change things though.
I dunno, I think i'd like to go see things in the past.

You can't really change things in the future with regards to what I meant. :P

I'd probably go future as I'd quite like to see what future technology etc there is about in 100 years.

If it was 100 years, then the future. 1915 would be nasty.

Not much as I think it would be dangerous to meddle.
If I could change anything and had the power/influence to be listened to, I would have Bloody Sunday in 1905 Tsarist Russia not happen which was one of the reasons for the regimes downfall to the Communists a decade or so later and we know what havoc it played in world affairs across the globe up to 1989. Aka make Tsar Nicholas II accept he must become a constitutional monarch. I'd also go back and stop the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungary Empire which had he not been killed perhaps would have delayed World War I and had he come to the throne of that unstable multicultural Empire after his father died shortly afterwards then being a reformer he could have possibly held it together which would have prevented World War I.
I'd also revise our actions in Ireland and have granted Home Rule at the turn of the century which would have avoided the Irish Civil War and southern Ireland leaving the United Kingdom when in reality with some reforms Ireland would still belong in our realm. I'd also do anything possible to stop Britain becoming involved in those two pointless world wars which bankrupted us, lost us our Empire and saw us eclipsed as the world's leading power by the Soviet Union and America.
The turn of that century was awful in what happened shortly afterwards. A series of terrible, stupid and naive decisions by a lot of people and countries.

If 100 years exactly the future. I'd not want to go into the past as that mean it was still World War 1 - which must've been terrible for all involved. As much as all involved are true true heros - who really really would want to return (or even visit) that era - even if they could - I think.

I seriously worry for anyone who wants to pop back to when everyone in Britain was just beginning to realise WW1 wasn't going to be a couple of months.
I probably wouldn't go to either the past or the future. Changing the past is not a smart idea, and for all you know changing it could lead to you never being born which would definitely create some kind of freaky paradox.
Don't wanna travel forwards in time either as I'd just stick out like a sore thumb not knowing what was going on. Think about how much has changed in the last 100 years!

Future, I'd like to see what's changed and what hasn't. I'd hate to go 100 years into the future and see that barely anythings changed, I'd want hover cars!!

Future
I would rather go back in time to see how times were!
The future, I don't think I'd like the past
