I would rather live in the future because it would probably have more advanced tech and cooler places to go.Also,it would have peace and love.However,some people might want to live in the past because they would know what would happen.Overall,I think that living in the future is better.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice to live in the past or the future ,I would live in the future! First, There would be new inventions and things that could become really famous! Second, It would be so fun if they created some kind of flying machine instead of a car! Some may say that living in your past is better because they don't want to leave all of their memories behind! I choose to live in the future!
ReplyDeleteI would live in the future. First, I can have a flying car. Second, there will be new Iphones out. Third, Will live in a home that will do anything. However some may say the past is better because it sounds so cool when you learn about it in class. That is why I choose to live in the past.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between living in the past or living in the future. I would definitely want to live in the future. I would want to live in the future because... 1st, You could see what the future is like and how you turn out when you're older. 2nd, you could see all of the futuristic houses and pick which one you want to live in. 3rd, You can see what awesome inventions had been made. Like maybe flying cars, automatic TV's, and much more. But some may argue that living in the past is better because you can see what happened to your family. How did your parents meet. And much more. But I think I still want to live in the future.
ReplyDeleteIf I could live in the past or the future I would absolutely live in the future. First,I would live in the future because we would have a bunch really cool technology like a self driving car. Second, I would live in the future because the past has tons and tons of wars that I really don't want to be involved in and shooting a gun not a good specialty ,also there would be zero technology in the past. Finally, I would rather live in the future because there would be tons of awesome movies that would have come out. Although some may argue that the past is better because There might be a horrible future. I would still prefer the future though because of the technology.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose to live in the past or in the future, I would choose to live in the future. First, if you lived in the future there would be a lot of high tech stuff. Second, maybe you could live in a floating mansion. Finally, you could maybe even drive a flying car. However, some people prefer to live in the past because you could get a feel of back in the day, you could event something that we use today, and you could play with things that are not popular today. I would rather live in the future!
ReplyDeleteIf I could live in the past or in the future, I would live in the future. First, things would be more advanced. Second, the past is not very complex. Finally, you could find your old stuff in the past. However, some people might like to live in the past. Their reasons might be the past is less complicated, the future is too new, and you could learn about history in the past. SOme people might like that, but I would still rather live in the future. Those are my reasons for living in the future.
ReplyDeleteIf it was me I would choose live in the future because I get fance cars and houses a new world not in a bad envirment I mean pigs might fly soon so I would keep an open mind about things some might say living in the past is better but nothing knew will happen it will just be same o same o
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice of going back in time or going into the future I would choose going back in time. My first reason is you could see Jesus as a human. My second reason is you could go back and change things you wish didn't happen in your life. My third reason is that you could tell people in the past about things that humans have already discovered.
ReplyDeleteHowever, Some may argue that going into the future is better because you could be prepared for it. But going back in time is way better because you can see all of your ancestors. That is why I would go back in time.
If I had to choose between living in the past or living in the future, I would want to live in the future. Here are my reasons why. First, you would get to play on all the things that haven't been invented yet. Second, you could see how things change and, how quickly they change. Lastly, you could see how every country has developed by itself.
ReplyDeleteHowever, some may argue that living in the past would be better because you could see and feel how people lived and, may be see your grandparents. But, you wouldn't be as safe because there were a lot of battles in the past. That is why living in the future would be better.
If I had to chose between living in the past or future, I would chose to live in the future. First, It would be hard to live in the past because they don't have all the things we use today. Second, It would be really cool to live in the future because it would be like our world except better with different things. Finally, When I think of the past I think of colonial things and I would not want to wear what they have to wear. However, some may argue that if you did live in the past you could see what life was like back then. I would rather live in the future.
ReplyDeleteI would rather live in the future than to live in the past. First, if I live in the future everything could be different like the cars maybe we won't even have to drive the cars. Second, the phone would be huge you probaly can't even fit it in your pocket. Finally, you can meet your future children. However some people might choose the past because they can change things and you could be the first person to create the phone. Those are my reasons why I chose the future over being able to live in the past.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to live in the past or the future, I would choose to live in the past. First, you could stop bad events. Second, you can see animals and places, that are no longer alive or exist in the future. Finally, If you lived in the future there could be bad things that happened, like the apokolips and other bad things, although it would be cool to see the new inventions in the future. I would still choose to live in the past.
ReplyDeleteIf I either got to time travel to live in the past or in the future, I would live in the future. Here are my reasons why. First, living in the future would be so much better than living in the past because there would be a lot more resources. There would be things like phones, modern hospitals, policemen, firemen, and safety installations in our homes like fire extinguishers. If we lived in the past, lots of these things wouldn't have existed yet. Life wouldn't be as safe as it is today. Second, life would be all modern. I love modern things. Especially modern houses. There is this really modern house that I pass on my way to church, and I really really really want to buy it when I grow up. It is all white, and its structure looks like an ocean wave. The windows are all shapes and sizes, and this the coolest part-right outside the house is a cone-shaped structure. You go up some stairs, and you are inside of it! It's like an icecream cone shaped room! In the future, many people will probably have houses just like that, and I'm going to be the first one to buy the cone-house. My third reason is about all the inventions in the future. Maybe there will be robots making your breakfast, or a car that runs on water, or even making things fly! Everything would be so new and cool in the future. I would be in paradise! Although I think it would be totally amazing to live in the future, some may argue that living in the past is better. You could meet your hero, learn about life long ago, and see famous things being built. But if you lived in the past, you wouldn't have all the luxury that you could have in the future.If you went back far enough, indoor plumbing might not have been invented yet, or the lightbulb hasn't even been built! That is why it is better to live in the future than in the past.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between living in the past or the future, I would live in the future. First, there would be high tech things. Second, I could go to Mars, and be back before dinner. Finally, I could live in space. Some might say living in the past would be better because you could live out "the good ole days", but you wouldn't get to fly on a flying car. That's why I would live in the future.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between living in the past or the future I would choose to live in the past. For example, I already know what it was like in the past. I is not that bad because I like doing things for myself. Next, in the future our world is most likely going to be ruined by all this new computer things and inventions. Plus, there would be no room for gardening. Finally, if I lived in the past, there would be lots of land for farming and you would get to do everything yourself! However, others may not like doing things for themselves. Or, they would want all the new cool inventions. But, I would rather do things myself. That's why I would want to live in the past, not the future.
ReplyDeleteI would rather live in the past. First, I could change history. Second, I could live at any time I want to, like, the 1920s, the 1930s, or the 1940s. Third, I can meet popular people and be their friends like ,Jackie Robinson, Carlton Fisk, or Shoeless Joe Jackson. Some other people might say that living the future is better because you could have a family, but there could be bad stuff going on. So in conclusion I like living the past better than the future.
ReplyDeleteI would choose to live in the future than the past. First, it could be one second into the future, so nothing would happen. Second, back in time would be boring. Third, there would be no electricity. Some may think the past is better because you could know how they lived. This is why I choose to live in the future.
ReplyDeleteI would rather go to the past because you could go see yourself when you were a baby. Second, if the preds win the stanley cup you could go back and relive it. Third, if you made a mistake you could go back and don't make the mistake. Some may argue the going to the future is better but you just see what is happening but you could miss a lot.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to choose between going in the past or the future I would choose the future. Here are my reasons. First, you can see what college you play for. Second, you can see all the new stuff that has been made. Last, you can see if you have a family.
ReplyDeleteI would rather live in the future than in the past.First, in the future there will be really cool new things you could use.Second,back then wars were going on and people would fight with you.Third, You could possible have a robot in the future working for you. Some people say that in the past you could bring things with you but there's better things in the future.
ReplyDeleteI think that I would rather live in the past rather than the future. First, I could see if the third president was really ABE. Also, I could see if Adam and Eve were really real. Second, I could go back and be the first women to sign the Declaration of Independence! Maybe! Finally, I could go back to see my grandfather who died when my mom was fifteen. I think that it would be sort-of scary to live in the future because you would know how many years it would take for you to die or something scary like that. Those are my reasons why I would rather live in the past rather than the future.
ReplyDeleteI would rather live in the future. First,because in the future,things would be so much better! I would love to see what I am doing and how I look. Second,If I lived in the future,then I could see what the world needed and what we fixed. We could stop pollution by using solar-powered cars,we could use plants that are healthy for medicines,we could make the world better by recycling. Lastly,I think that making a difference by travelling and living in the future will make everyone happy. Even those who have lost loved-ones,are sick,are abused,and are just sad. A little happiness never hurt anyone. Some may think that going to the past is better because you could see all of your memories and your descendants, but being able to go into the future is better for me. That is why I think it is better to live in the future.
