Thrust Back In Time! Could You Handle The Truth?!

Have you ever thought, "I definitely could have been born in an earlier time."? I'll answer that question for you. OF COURSE YOU HAVE! Everyone has. But, are we being honest with ourselves? Think about it... Nowadays, we have:
-Cellphones
-Toilet Paper
-Internet
-Deodorant
-Television
-Computers
-Shampoo
-Facebook
-Hot Water
-Sliced Bread
-Showers
-Soap
-Dishwashers
-Hospitals
-Hair Products
-Microwaves
-Washers and Dryers
-Toilets
-Air Conditioning
-Refrigerators and Freezers
-Tweezers
-Radio
-Razors
-Antibiotics
-Equality
-Vehicles
-The option to brush our teeth...
-Etc.

I think you get my point. We've become spoiled to our generation. For some, if they were inadvertently thrust back in time by some kind of  failed NASA experiment, they would adjust quickly to the environment. As for the rest of us... Probably not so much.
I've always said that if I were to go back in time to say... the twenties, I would fit in no problem. I would enjoy myself immensely. People have even told me that I look like I could be from the early nineteen hundreds. If I went back in time with no way to come back to the future, I think I might die. Literally. I would probably get shot by someone in a gang, or ingest dirty water and get some kind of infection that my immune system has never been trained to fight off and/or I would surely die of tuberculosis (which was very common back then).
I wouldn't be upper class either. Not even upper-middle class. I wouldn't even be middle class. It would be my luck that I would be out on the streets trying to get people to give me bread. (Maybe not that far...)
Then AGAIN! I have information from the future. My very existence would create a ripple effect in history anyways.. I might as well make it a drastic one, right? I'll invent the traffic light! The Stop sign! Other things! Then I will be know as the smartest woman in History! Either that, or men will just take my ideas and roll with them... Although, they weren't my ideas in the first place, so I wouldn't really have the right to complain.

ANYways... If you went back in time, what era do you think you would be able to adapt to in the easiest possible way? Do you think you would be able to live a long and happy life in that era? Do you think I forgot  anything in my list? Comment below and like my post. Thanks. (:

Subjects...

I've gotten some awesome suggestions on what I should write about by all of you. I chose two subjects and will write on each separately. BUT! So far I've only gotten two poems in... I was counting on at LEAST (maybe) five or six.

SOOOOO.....if you don't want to send in a poem you wrote, or if you've never written a good poem in your life, then send me one that someone else has written. It doesn't matter if it's your aunt's poem, your brother's poem, or a poem from a dead guy, send one in with it's author and I'll post it up! Who knows...you may get comments on it.

Once I get it up, tell your friends of your genius poem! Once they see it, you'll get to brag about how totally AWESOME you are!!


And by "'em" I mean "your poems"... (:
