I'm not a historian so 1000 years back has little interest to me. A 1000 years in the future though...

Knowledge and technology don't increase at a linear rate - it's more like geometric. Look at the difference between 0 and 1000 AD. Then look at the difference between 1917 and 2017 - one tenth the time frame. Now extrapolate out 1000 years. Assuming no catastrophic event, there won't be any humans in 3017 - there will be a race of beings who have re-engineered themselves and more resemble what would appear to us as gods than human beings.

I think the choice of 100 years back or forward would be far more interesting.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
