schadenfreude: (twinnings)

What’s your favorite time period in history, and why?

 

Now – a span from the late 20th century to present.  Central heat and air, garbage disposals, hot steamy showers, flush toilets, ice makers, dishwashers, high-definition flat screen televisions, streaming television apps, high speed internet, smart phones, laptops, news broadcasts within two or three minutes after a disaster or major event -- everything we have now.

I do not want to imagine carrying water from an outside well, heating water on a wood stove to clean the house and bathe, using / maintaining an outhouse, chopping wood, getting up in the night to make sure the fire hasn't gone out, all the things / tasks some of our parents, and most of our grandparents lived through.
