If you could pick a decade in which to live which would you pick?

2200 in America. It would be interesting to see how much society and technology has advanced in 200 years.

Edit: Re-read the OP; it says recorded history. In that case, I would choose the 1960s in England.

Do we get to live then with our current knowledge?

If so early '70's. 😀
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

She would concur us all and rule as a GOD!
If she's going to be that agreeable, that's fine by me! ^_^

I think I'd be happiest in the '90s. It's hard to live without the Internet. Maybe I could set up emails to be sent to myself later, too. Though in the '70s, maybe I could help RMS create more patent-free algorithms before they were otherwise invented! :sneaky:

I for one worship at the feet of our Rubycon goddess.😛

The 60's and 70's were fun times overall, but I think I'd like to go back to an earlier time...say the 1860's-1880's and live, either a cowboy/gunfighter life, or a mountain man trapper. (probably have to go back to the 1830's for that one.) shack up with hot Indian (feather, not dot) wimmenz.
 
I'd pick right now. I was bored a lot as a kid because there was no internet. I remember watching infomercials and soap operas on sick days because there was literally nothing else to do. I still remember all the reasons you should buy this amazing ronco food dehydrator.

My parents' description of their childhoods is even worse. No internet, and there were only 3 TV channels because nobody had cable or satellite TV. My dad lived on a farm so he had only 1 TV channel and his friends lived ridiculously far away. Imagine being bored for every minute that you're not working. It's not a mystery why every farmer I've ever met is an alcoholic.
 
Everyone saying the 80s is in for a surprise. What a piece of shit decade. It even spilled over to a few years into the 90s it was so much suck.

either 1943-1953 or 100 years from now.

I'm addicted to the Internet too. But I could easily live in another decade that was interesting in other ways. There are these things called books, movies, other people, society, history, that I hear are interesting too 🙂
 
Living in a previous decade would be like living in a shitty thriftstore. Everything material would suck, and there's no reason to think people would be any better. I'd pick the 2010s, now, because I've a good feeling about this decade.
 
Not sure, but I hated Liver as a kid and I was a kid in the '70's, so I would not want Liver in the '70's. I could stand and actually enjoy Liver in the '90's, so I pick the '90's.

Fuck 🙁

Hahahahahahaahaha..

90's good times in the 90s

2000-2010 sucked balls

And those were the good times.

Kewl - I just forgot the rules. Damet. I would have loved to be an adult during the 90's - love 90s music. Oh, I would live in on a Polynesian Island🙂
