Would you rather go back in time or visit the future?

My imagination takes me to both places easily enough. I'll admit that I do so often but still, here is where I am and here is where both the future and past begin and end. Now is where I live, but I do believe that we, each of us have glimpses to both the past in future. Flashbacks and Deja vu (sp?) seem to happen at odd times, the recurrence of a time never experienced before can be... unsettling or amazing, depending on when and how accurate the moment is.

If I were to choose further in time though, a moment to see, it would most likely be the future. Just how much or little the human race changes. I wonder how my family would change, what my children and their children would be like long after I am gone. What sports would be favored over others, what people are watching and reading.

I would want to know what animals have gone extinct and which have been newly discovered. I would want to see how much we, the human race has grown and how much life on this world is still about. What lessons have we finally learned from and what still needs to be addressed.
