Inspired by the solar roadways thread

Imagine being born in the 2090s and how futuristic everything will be compared to now. Like I'm cool with the way things are now... nothing too primitive compared to, say, the 1710s or 1810s. We're civilized enough, but man, being born a century or two later will probably have so many benefits.

No. I'm born at a time with sufficient technology but without too many environmental and social problems (yet) and I'm very pessimistic regarding humanity's future. Also, this will probably be the last century of western domination and by the 22th century it will be the first time the West is not the dominant force since over 500 years and as a western individual I would not be here for that.

It's entirely possible for that to happen, but you can't predict what's going to happen in 100 years from now. Maybe the US will not be the stronghold it once was, but who is to say another North American or South American nation can't rise to power?

Yes! Everyone always talks about wanting to be born in an earlier decade, I'm hate that I'm gonna miss out on the world in 2100

South America is not Western : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ations_map.png.

I was just referring to Western vs Eastern hemisphere. I didn't realize there were set boundaries for civilization.

With the amount of problems we have already at a world scale I'm okay with being born in the 90s. I don't think about this.

No. I like that I was born in 1990. I wouldn't have complained if I was born 5-10 years earlier, though.

I wish I was apart of the hippie generation

I wish I was born earlier. Sometime in the 1930s so I could enjoy the 50s in my early 20s

Nope. I would rather not live post nuclear apocalypse.

Hell no
I wouldnt know about the Jordin's existence

Hm. I'd be too afraid to do that blindly. I'd have to time travel back and forth and compare which eras best. To be honest though, I don't think this current generation is as bad as the press makes it out to be. At least in developed countries. There seems to be a stronger sense of understanding and cooperation.

Hmm. Sometimes I wish I was born 100 years back actually. The roaring 20s seemed like a great time and I could prolly learn to enjoy a more simple lifestyle without technology being so omnipresent. Don't use facebook/twitter so yah.

I can only imagine the types of laws, diseases and problems there are in 100 years... unless some miracle happens, and even then I'm afraid to live past half a century years old. Take the wheel, I'm tired!

I'm good... Not with the way things are now in general. Global warming, economy, music sales.

Will music be selling in 100 years?

But you're ok with the laws, diseases, and problems that existed in the 1920s?

I wish I was born a tad earlier. I was born in 1995... I wouldn't have minded maybe '91 or so just so I can get a more full experience of the amazing 90's decade.

No way.

No. Any time we would be born in would be normal and less interesting to us, and we would always wonder about other time periods. What I do wish would be able to somehow see places I know, and how they looked like many years back or in the future.

Yes I've thought about it
