If any time traveler comes to 2024, it's either great because there's science in the future, or it's terrible, because there's something about to happen that's worth seeing first-hand.
Or it's great because something interesting is about to happen. If I had a time machine I would travel to 1989 to see the fall of the Berlin Wall.
I am still thankful our parents woke us up and put us in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of that happening. That was a watershed moment in post-war politics.
