  Hi Aoife!
  I think if I could choose to live any era like that, I’d probably pick sometime around the industrial revolution which was between 1760 to about 1830. During this time so much stuff was invented and it was a really great time for science and engineering. The telephone, airplane, steam engine, photography and most importantly, electricity, were all invented in that era. I think it would be really cool to go back there and be one of the engineers that worked on those great inventions. What era would you pick?
