It would be so great to go back in time and meet some of these people.

I wonder what these people from almost 100 years ago would think of our times? What would amaze them the most? I would guess pocket supercomputers posing as a phone, instant worldwide communications and the internet, more than even jet and space travel. Would they choose to live in our times, or go back to theirs? It would be nice to be a time tourist and go on a vacation in the past or future, but there's no place like home. Couple of good "Twilight Zone" episodes on this topic. It boggles my mind when I realize that my high school graduation in 1969 was closer to 1927 than to today. 42 years to 1927, 50 years from today. My birth year, 1952, was only 23 years after the 1929 crash. Time flies and one day you look in the mirror and see an old man.
