The 80's

There are obviously so many options to choose from going back in time and choosing which time period I would want to see. But I think that of all the choices, I would like to visit the 1980's. Mostly because of the famously known 1980 Winter Olympics. These Olympics changed American lives. The game known as the "Miracle Game" occurred, this game brought peace to Americans and made them live easier. The "Miracle Game" for those who don't know was the very game where the USA defeated the Soviet Union team. The most improbable win brought the Americans to closure. Mainly because there was a ton of tension between the two countries. Other big things that gone on, well the famously known game or toy called the Rubik's Cube, and the game Pac-Man game was invented in 1980, both big games today that are very entertaining. The current President at that time Ronald Reagan, was being attempted for assassination, but he was luckily able to get away unharmed. The NBA had a new star and boy was he a sight to see. Michael Jordan became arguably the greatest player ever to play the game in this decade. These years were his big ones, the ones he is known for. Michael Jordan graduated from North Carolina and immediately showed he could play with the big boys right away in the pros. The 80's are a time known for a lot of change around the world and wealth and production became easier to find and helped a lot of people out. I think that I would love to see what life was like back in this time, with all the different music and sports and wars and culture. I think it would be really awesome and to see all of the adults that were in their teens and 20s back then.
