How could be my life if I had been born in the 18th century?

If I had been born in the 18th century, probably my life would be very boring
because there is no technology, no phone, no videogames, no TV, no people
modernization! But that is with my mentality of now, modernized and with
technology, the first thing I would do there would be to lie on the floor for a little
time, while I soak up the heat of the sun of that time, perhaps it would not feel so
hot because at that time there was almost no pollution, right after I would take a
shower, but in the river, ‘cause there wasn’t showers. I think I would’ve seen
people watching me with a strange look, because people rarely bathed
themselves, ending my short-bath, I would gone to the most nearest town and I
would’ve eaten some bread and drunk wine, these was the cheapest food for the
era. And probably If I had been there, I wouldn’t have a forgetful mind, because
currently, I don’t remind some daily things like make my bed, wash my teeth, etc.

Also, many memories would vary a lot, for example, when I was a child, I used to
play soccer with my friends, that wouldn’t have been possible in that century
because in that time, there were only sports like fencing, running and
gymnastics, so if I had chosen a sport, It would’ve been fencing! Another memory
would be, when I was younger I used to play on my PS3, but since there was no
electricity there, obviously there couldn't be a console. So there wouldn’t be any
memory to “bring me back”. If I hadn’t been born in that era, I wouldn’t have lost
my memories.

In conclusion, I’d say if I had been alive at that century, I would’ve been a
blacksmith, because if I had gotten a blacksmith job, I would’ve been the best
smith of all town! So I would specialize in the swords and military weaponry for
the soldiers.
