Travel back in time or forward?

I'd like to go back about 100,000 years to see what was going on then.

Thinking more on this the future mightn't be much cop. At least with the past you might have some idea what to expect. Look at us today, then look at say 1952. The pace of change in everyday life has been subtle but constant. In particular with regulation and decreasing privacy and increasing interconnectivity. We are bombarded with so much today, but because we've grown up with it we can deal with, even enjoy it, but still there is the sense of overload at times. One could argue the rise of depression anxiety et al are partly explained by that(both are very rare in "primitive societies"). Now imagine the level of that in a century if we continue on this path. In that time we might be plugged into each other in ways we can barely imagine today. Imagine being dropped into the middle of that without some sort of decompression into it? Jeeebus.

Whereas I'm just thinking "oooh it'd be like the jetsons"

But it hasn't been subtle, life is changing at a rapid pace and technology is opening different aspects as to what is going to transpire! Over 100 years ago when the wright brothers first took flight, fast forward into the 40's, the Atom bomb came about, followed by the cold war and some time came a succesful mission to the moon. If man is capable of such advance in the space of 100 years, what will come about in the next 100 years?
