Passport

Given the choice, I'd love to travel forward in time. The further back you go, the more misinformation and barbaric practices you'd encounter making life more difficult. As you'd go forward quality of life would improve with medical technology, and automation would make time for leisure more available. I'd love to see if weapon technologies made war more horrific, or as I hope, more humane. You could read the literary classics of every generation, without having to sort through the waffle of weeks of "best sellers" that are bland and pointless. Studying history as you moved forward would keep you appraised of everything you missed, and as student of anthropology, you could watch the human race advance towards some grand culmination. It'd be fascinating to watch; we know where's it been, I just want to see where it's going.
