The past is pretty cool. Seeing how people lived in the past is pretty interesting, although I recognize that we live in the best/safest time humanity has ever seen so I'd definitely never have any desire to go back.

As for the future, I think human society will gradually become perfectly safe for every human on the planet, although at the same time every government in the world will become extremely authoritarian. Nobody will be free but everybody will be forcefully happy and safe. Just my 2 cents.
