I wish I was born like 100-200 years from now.
You didn't have to experience the 70s or 80s to understand what that era was like culturally. You can listen to music from then, look at fashion from then, watch films from then, watch current films that are set in that era, etc. to understand what it was like. To say "I missed out on the music of that generation" or whatever is stupid because that music still exists. You can still listen to it. It still exists in 2014. You just can't get drunk with your peers at a time when that music was popular. Unless, your friends love that music too, in which case you can throw a 70s/80s party which is heaps of fun.
The future, on the other hand, we'll never experience. We don't know what it will be like. We can make guesses, from what we've seen in films, but I think it's far more annoying to leave this world without knowing what happened in the second half of the book, especially when the first half was so interesting.
