I'd like to see a lot of things in history but not sure I'd like to live in those times. I'd go back to 1980 because a bunch of cool stuff happens in the 1980s and 1990s that I could fully enjoy and exploit.

Maybe? Some of it was already set to happen, though, and you can diversify between similar options if you're not sure whether to bet on Commodore this time.

Agent Smith did say it was the peak of human civilization..
I don't really want to miss my family for that long. Maybe I'd go back to when my kids were babies and become a live-in nannydad? I could see that getting weird though.
If I didn't have that level of control but I absolutely had to go somewhen, I guess I'd either go a few decades in the future to see how it shapes up, or to the neolithic era so I could finally find out a bunch of things we'd never otherwise have known. That era seems like it was pretty cool, and I happen to know enough baseline science to actually recreate some of my favourite amenities.
