Time machine

[NYCBlue]

If you had a time machine that would only go forward, would you step foot in it?

No. I wouldn't want to leave my family or my life as it is now. And I probably wouldn't like what I saw in the future. Also, can imagine how confusing it would be for a 50-year-old man from 1971 to end up here? Jesus!

I have always wondered if you went back 500 years, how easy it would be to assimilate into normal life, like would my accent and mannerisms be so strange that I would be unable to settle into society

I bet language would be a problem. I'm sure ordinary people didn't speak full-on Shakespeare but I reckon there'd be some confusion.

On the other hand, there'd be loads of viruses that your body has never encountered before so language wouldn't be your major problem for long
