Say that instead of living in the 21^st century I now lived in the 18^th century. Given my age and the time it took back then to travel any considerate distance, I would have been at the least very hard pressed to have achieved traveling as much as I have nowadays, if it wasn’t already impossible. Not only would it have taken many years (or at least months) to simply get over to the place I was visiting but it was of also cost huge amounts of money to get there. So unless I was best friends with the King or my father was a governor or something, I wouldn’t of been able to afford it either.

Obviously back in the 18^th century they didn’t have computers or the internet, so I wouldn’t be able to wright about my adventures like I am now. However around the end of the 18^th century  some intelligent person invented a telegraph  line this would of allowed me to be able send  small messages some distance, proving that that then invention a) made it to Australia and b) again it was very, very costly  and I probably couldn’t of afforded it.

What was a more likely way of me writing the equivalent of a blog would be writing a diary. However this means that only the people who I’ve met and bothered to show my diary would know about it. Another way would be to go around a tell people verbally, but this in its self would mean more traveling, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing just more time consuming.

Given the fact that I would be living in the 18^th century and people were expected to die young, traveling probably wouldn’t help that. I would have probably gotten some life threatening disease gone back to Australia given to half the population which was about 100 back then, killed all of them and died myself. So on that cheerful note I’m going to end this post
