I wouldn't mind being born say 2000 years from now. Presuming we haven't utterly destroyed each other by then, I'd imagine there will be some great advancements (no, not just technological)

Not really. I like now.

Then again the universe must have seem so much more mystical in the old days.

Though given the life back then you didn't have time to wonder about it

Aside from a few moments of brashness where I think living in the 9th-10th centuries would be awesome if I didn't die of dysentery or a sword through the bowels, I'm quite content living right now.

Maybe the year 9595

But only if mankind is still alive.

All about having a life expectancy of less than 35.

I'm utterly fascinated by history and would love to VISIT different times/places - however, I wouldn't want to live there.

That being said, I wish I had been born just a bit earlier so I could have been a teenager/ young advlt in the early 80's. I'd still be able to enjoy my childhood by playing outside and all that jazz and I'd be old enough to take advantage of the 80's and 90's, but it would still be before life started to kind of svck. I realize how awesome most think the technology is today, and some is extremely useful (like the internet), however people need to find some moderation and balance. If technology failed, most people - especially the younger generations - wouldn't be able to function. Computers are useful tools, but they shouldn't take the place of everything.

I can never take you serious. Especially since when I see your avatar all I think about is, "Fatty Boom Boom."

Not really. It's quite hard to know how hard living was in the past and is going to be in the future. Some things on Earth have become better, some worse.

I'm quite happy. I saw the best cartoons and TV shows in 80's and 90's, and played the first computer games. Also my grandfathers told what WW2 was like, and I have been in military myself.
Now if only I'd see the real Enterprise, the colonization of Mars, and the first contact with an intelligent alien species. I love Sci-Fi.

The thirties would be good.

I used to feel out of place in this era too, but then I talked to alot of elder people, and they all said that they felt like me at one time in their life.

So if you wished you could be young in the 50, it wouldn't last forever anyway and you would be even more sad when those times are over.

No matter the age/era, there's always some people (most people actually) who dont like how times have changed, I learned just to live with, distanced myself to the ways of life that i dont like and just appreciated what i did like.

Do this and everything will be alot easier.

Pretty much this. I wouldn't be who I am if I was born in a different time/place.

Probably a teenager in the 60's, my *ahem* habits would be quite acceptable in that time period.... Edit: not to mention the fact that the u.s didn't have this stigma about everyone going to college, and that everyone needs to graduate high school to be successful.

Nope. I love being a person of the 21st century, and love the opportunities we have nowadays.

Ah, nevermind the 60s. I'm a baseball fan, so that means: THE ROARING 20's

yeah the 2600's
be part robot
yeah

Damn it, I was just about to post this. Who wants to be an obsolete human anyway?

High five
I would have wings, and no human limbs
my feet would have talons
I WANT TO BE A SILVER HUMAN EAGLE HYBRID!

Roman times

Nobody was equal but everybody had a chance to become wealthy I mean EVERYBODY

For example: a slave had the chance to earn his freedom. the slave's master has to then give the freed slave enough money to get him started. There was a case in pompeii, one of the buried houses had a very wealthy merchant that had spent the early days of his life as a slave.

Not really, unless you count being born in the future. I'd love to explore the galaxy if I could.

As an Australian Aboriginal, I'm quite happy with the current eras level of social harmony and lack of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_generation.

You haven't happened to come across a pocket watch on the beach by any chance?

I'm a child of the Age of Information, baby, and I wouldn't trade that fact for the world.

In the future, this might be looked at as the age of ignorance. Imagine if we come up with a way to provide everyone with telepathy, and everyone could read everyone else's minds. Truth would reign supreme, we would look at our fellow man in completely new ways, information would flow freely to everyone for the first time. Imagine a society where every individual had all the information of the internet contained in their brain.

I've gazed into the soul of the internet, and thousands of gigabytes of deviant pormography gazed back.
