I don't know if I have a preference to be someone else *I'll have to give it some thought*
But I DO often think of how it might have been living in another time in history....like the early 1900's.
From horse and buggies to cars that park themselves. From homes without floors or indoor plumbing to heated tiles and steam showers. The evolution of travel.....men on the moon. From scratchy old radio programs to having the technology to produce your own entertainment in your home. From old general stores where they had everything they needed that would now fit in one aisle of our 'super stores'. People born then have SEEN all this.
The list is long, and I think about it often.
