TIME MACHINE FORUM: Would you rather have a time machine that could take you to the past or the one that will take you to the future?
John
As for the future, I don’t want to know my future — that’s the mystery of life. :) What’s the point of living when you already know the past, the present and the future? To be able to live today is important. The future has to be a mystery, we try our best now to have a better future. :)
Peter
The past, of course. I can go and meet my dad when he was young. Of course, I wouldn’t tell him I’m his son, but it well be cool just to have fun and go eat out and hang out.
Ron I would love to go to the past, because there are so many things I’ve done that I regret and I want to change it. For example, the way I ignored my sister when she needed help ... I’d obviously choose the past, and completely re-do my life, learn more, learn smarter, not make the stupid mistakes I made.
Jim
The past, because there’re so many time periods I want to visit. I want to go to ancient civilizations, if I can. I will meet all the world’s greatest people from Newton to anyone you want.
Mary
Future. I want to know if what I’m doing is right and my today dreams would come true.
Bob
Future ... That way I could find out what next week’s winning Lottery numbers are, and then come back and buy the ticket with those numbers ... (I’m so clever!!!!)

34 Read the first part of the text ‘Time travellers among us?’. Do you agree that this is evidence of time-travelling or can you think of any other explanations.
Time travellers among us?
In 2010 the Internet was all about talk of time travel — and it had nothing to do with the 25th anniversary of Back To The Future film. The big news was the discovery of some old Charlie Chaplin footage from the 1920s which appeared to show a woman talking on a cell phone. In 2013 another sensational black-and-white film shot in 1938 was discovered showing a group of young people, possibly factory workers, walking out of a building. A dark-haired girl in a light-coloured dress smiles into the camera, her hand pressed to her ear. She is holding what looks to be a large portable phone.
The newspapers reported it was clear proof that time travel had been invented, and that we were being monitored by people from the future at all times, probably even in the bathroom ...
For your info
The first hand held mobile phone was invented in the 1970s.
