Interesting article-Thanks Brenda!
Brenda, yes interesting article but faulty premise: 'They go right to the unhappiest moment of their life and they go back again and again and again trying to fix it'Never my agenda.
Just saying
I do, im 21 years old and I'll like to visit the 1920 decade
I don't agree to the fact that 'time travel has always been in culture' and 65 year olds should know it too. This article is overlooking things like there being MUCH LESS media coverage back when those 65ers were young.. Also, quoting H.G. Wells - ONE book - as a sufficient thing to counter all the tens and dozens of movies and books that are released now? my grandma wouldn't want a time machine for simple reasons - not because of what they say, but simply because she looks at the media differently. she does not fantasize. you could never talk to her about time travel or the x-men, or even superman - anything like that. time travel as a thing doesn't exist to her at all. even though she watches tv.I think this is more a cultural thing, and the author of the article is grossly overlooking it. or he (she, probably?) has no grandparents, seriously.
I do think time travel fiction has never been more visible - most major TV shows in sci-fi or fantasy have at least one time travel episode. It has permeated the mainstream now...
Tim, how about Time Travel non-fiction?Always my agenda.
Heh heh heh
Well that had its day in ancient Egypt..or was the distant future?
Yes I would, but not to go backward, but forward. Visiting the history past seems all right, but I'm much more interested in how our species will advance. Our society is so focused on greed and inequality right now that I'd love to see a time that isn't so. I'd be disappointed to see us become like the Ferengi.
I'm 30.
Yes I would want one to go to the past and the future.
Scariest quote: "If you're 70 years old, your brain is a time machine."
