I was born in 1991, which was the last decade of the 20th Century and the last millennium. Sometimes I find it hard to identify with being a 2000s teen. I'd rather been born anytime earlier in history before the time I was really born because I really missed out on some good things. I know that most eras had their own troubles too.
I'm disappointed with the current state of our world governments and the current state of our representative democracy is pretty negative. I always bother my mother with questions and rantings and I get too philosophical sometimes. I don't want the world as we know it to die.
In my lifetime we are also supposed to be the first generation to have it "worse" than our parents, even when we have the advancements our parents didn't, but that doesn't mean much to me. This "technological singularity" and immortality sounds like more dystopia than paradise. If you read Kurzweil, he predicts the singularity to hit in our lifetime at the latest 2045. I wish all this crap could happen after I'm dead, instead. We can't take the bad with the good anymore. There just can't be. For example, I don't think I want to give up learning and working on a craft to earn a good paycheck.
In a short version, I can say that the majority of today's generation's future is very bleak and if I just had a wish at the end of my lifetime, one of them would be to re-live and interact during the time, say when my parents were growing up. Even my parents call it crazy.

I wish I was born a time when honour, brave heart and a strong sword arm were a man's most valued possessions, when men were still men and women were women, when things were kept more simple and sensible, and when there was still plenty of unknown lands for brave men to discover and conquer.
I suppose the mission of my current incarnation is to learn to see benefits in the twisted present-day ways as well and realize that truth and right can take many forms.

Sooo, you wish you were born in a fantasy novel?

That's just judging by culture and fashion though. Technology always moves forward so the modern era has more fun things to do.
