Stay in the present...I wouldn't want to screw up my present by going backwards and...the future is meant to be a surprise...and I'd do what Ser Warjacksworth would do....sell it...not for armor...but for...UNLIMITED EXTRA GUM: POLAR ICE!

backwards, I've got some things I would want to correct personally

Backwards for me too. Just to see the people who aren't in my life anymore again and tell them I love them and all that cheese.

I would go forward. I've been so excited all my life about technology, watching things happen that were only science fiction when I was a kid. I would love to see what's coming next, or a hundred years from now. That would be thrilling.

Backwards.

future,as a society the present human race is progressing too slow imo.

I've seen/heard about the past. The future is the great unknown (at least MY great unknown). I'm on a never-ending search for something new, I want to see something new. Take me to the future, beam me up and plug me in, bring on the Matrix!

I make a lot of dumb mistakes, so backwards, easily.

Interesting statement ... haven't really heard anyone say that in this day and age. I've heard more people who are under the impression that we're going too fast, and consequently creating more potential for us to regress as a society (kind of paradoxical, I guess). But then again, I think this is also mostly said by us un-technologically-savvy layfolk ... how far ahead would you want to go ahead, Lex?

backwards, some things that i wish to correct. but then again, i'll commit some mistakes again throughout time, so.. that sucks.

I suppose I'd go as far ahead as it takes for the close minded to finally become extinct.

I'd go back to stop myself making some mistakes, take the lottery numbers with me and with the winnings I would travel round and help to stop 'disasters', kinda like a superhero hehe

from what I understand going backwards means taking over your past self's conscience,as opposite of having two you at the same timeline,right ?

I would go backwards so i can relive my life and make it better! lottery and such

Also i wouldnt go in to the future if our economy is bad and gas price is up..i mean it might get worse..so go back when it was as bad or maybe it was worse for some idk ;]

I don't think it really matters either way, since nobody said anything about a Harry Potter "you can't talk to yourself in the past" rule ... so I'd assume even if there were two of you, since one of you has the present-day consciousness that you'd be using anyway to re-do certain things as the "past you" [if you had only one corporeal form], there wouldn't be much difference between re-doing those things and telling yourself to ... if that made any sense. lol
