i dont think i would like to live in 1915 because; everything seems like it is right boring and there isn't a whole lot to do, and you do like a lot of chores and stuff.. Disadvantages would be; There isn't alot of jobs to pick from, so you don't really have a lot of money.

I woudn't like living 100 years ago. Alot of things that I would like using today wouldn't exist 100 years ago. Some examples are: A soft bed, a computer, and I wouldn't have as many chores.

Will- I woul not have liked living in 1915. Some advantages about living 100 years ago would be that it would have been safer because there wasn't as much communication and it would have been an advantage to be close to most people in the community. Some disadvantages are that there wasn't any telephones, internet, or any of the gaming systems.
I would probably miss the computer the most.

To Jordan,
I also think that it would have been just plain boring with nothing to do.

To Harrison,
Yeah, it would be very boring without the computer.

To Zach,
I think that having to ride around on horses would be fun some what, but it would get boring after a while.

To Kim,
Yeah, it seemed like there was a lot of chores that thye had to do back then.

I think it would be nice to live in 1915 for a little bit. I think it would be cool to ride around on horses and stuff too Zach. However, I think I would miss MSN and Survivor!
