I would rather go 100 years in the future. i chose this option because i want to see the technology and how the world is really doing. Also if i traveled back in time world war 2 would still be somewhere around the corner so it would be a pretty bad time. I want to go in the furure because i want to  see what happens or what advancements we have made. i also hope elon musk is still alive but a robot so that he could invent new things.

 

Although there might be global warming or pulition still affecting the world. Although  I still would enjoy this new world of tech and fun! and maybe i could hover board to school instead of driving there with my mum.
