      That’s such a hard question!!! 1000 years ago we had very little medicine and also really horrible inequality and laws… But 1000 years into the future we might have abused the planet so badly we’re all really ill!

      I’m going to settle on 1000 years in the future, as long as we’ve looked after it! Because in 1000 years there will definitely be some amazing technology to look at.

      Imagine what the romans 1000 years ago would have thought of this forum, or iPhones, or bombs, or of a jumbo jet…. I bet the same amount of progress will have been made, if not more, in 3017!

      So A Connecticut Yankee in the Court of King Arthur, or Futurama? I think I’d rather live in Futurama: I definitely wouldn’t survive for very long if I needed to know how to use a sword.

      i would rather live 1000 years in the future. 1000 years ago there was lots of disease and people had a short life expectancy i dont think i would survive for too long. Also, I’m used to the modern conveniences we take for granted e.g. running hot water, internet etc in the future these can only get better.
