Answer for question 4573.
Dec. 17th, 2015 06:53 am[Error: unknown template qotd]I'm very future-oriented, so I'd probably say as far in the future as I can get.
That said, if that wasn't an option, I wouldn't mind living in the late 70s / early 80s. The music was really starting to get good, computers were just taking off, and video games were becoming a thing.
I can see myself living in a major city, reading the newspaper (the Internet of the Past), going to concerts - all things I didn't get a chance to do during the time I actually lived in the late 70s (well, 6 months of it) and early 80s because I was too young, dumb or poor.
Things have gotten a lot better since that time in a lot of ways, and it's important to never lose sight of that. But if I had unlimited access to spacetime, it wouldn't be bad to spend a few months renting an apartment in NYC in 1983.
