I wasn't alive in 1911 so, I really couldn't say except that our tech today is a LOT better than what they had back then.

I pick 2011. I prefer being able to shower and go to the bathroom indoors.

Indoor plumbing in some form has been around since the Romans. My great grand parents had indoor plumbing in 1911.

Must have been well earning great grands.

“Modern indoor plumbing was invented in the 1800s and wasn’t widely used until the 1920s”

But I live in Florida so I’ll add that I prefer 2011 because of central air conditioning:

“By the late 1960s, most new homes had central air conditioning, and window air conditioners were more affordable than ever, fueling population growth in hot-weather states like Arizona and Florida.”
