Thank you!
It may not seem like it, but I really do try to make these polls thought-provoking enough to spur interesting discussions. Despite this landslide of a poll, I have enjoyed seeing everyone's reasoning behind their answers.
Not if my life is the price to pay for sating such curiosity :P
Yes, it may very well reflect on our base human instincts; the ones that compelled us to continue exploring the world of the unknown for thousands of years.
Exactly!
Will I be able to use my knowledge of what has happened or understanding of modern technology if I go into the past?

Yes!
EDIT:
Something else I suppose you could do is write down the most fundamental principles and equations to modern science on the back of your map. It would be pretty difficult to decide ultimately what to try and fit on there, but it's something!

Plus, past disease and shit... Seems miserable no matter what.
I'm brown. Easily the future based on that alone but also because I'm extremely curious to see what the future is like. Even if there's a chance it's a Mad Max hellscape.
With that, I would lean to the past but 500 years removes a lot of QoL conviences, but I could always help speed up technological and societal advancement. The future is too unknown. Might end up the only living creature on an unlivable planet, or be like a caveman unable to function because so much has changed.
