Funny. I often get to asking myself the same question. That does not mean i always come up with an answer. Actually, if I find one, it mostly is: There's no term of comparison. The world is mostly the same. Let's say I would have loved to live in an age where all technology was mechanical and where man was the best computer on the market. Why? Because nobody would have tried to impose a style of life or of thinking to you. It might sound strange, but we long to live in another time because we feel trapped and choked. We need to escape. But that's normal. Don't you think that people in the 70's or middle ages didn't find the need to run from everything? Just leave everything behind? It might be a great learning experience to live in another era (because you cannot know a lifestyle before you experience it and all we know about the past is just a reproduction, often not so good of reality), but you would still feel the need to run, when you find that life has some problems that nobody has the time to fix. And those problems have existed and will always be here. As long as life will exist.
My answer is a definite NO, because it would not be at all better. You will always miss something. Always.

Yes I have always thought about living at different times also different places. It's fun to fantasize about
It is however a grass is always greener thing, and I also think we are living in an amazing time right now mostly from computers and the Internet.
finding information, there was no Google you basically had to truck down to the library or local book store, usually without much luck.
music, it took hours to make a mixed tape, hitting the buttons just at the right time and not really knowing if you clipped the first 3 seconds until you rewound and dame try it again!
you just got about twenty people from all the world to answer a question that maybe you might have asked your best friend, but you never would have stood up in a crowded room and asked that question.
and the list goes on and on
And most important of all as time goes by there is far more tolerance, less sexism and racism.
So if we could have all that in 1904, were do I sign up!

They had their dark side as well. Nixon. VietNam. When I was starting high school Ford had just been selected president. The draft was something to worry about. No sense of safety, the music and parties and dope and everything were then as now a futile attempt to find hope in a world gone mad, and then as it slipped even farther, it was a hope that there would be release in further madness.
If there ever was a golden age of mankind it wasn't any time I was alive.

I wish I was born in a generation where plastic surgery isn't glorified and females can be as promiscuous as men without the increased stigma.

For sure! Sex, drugs, rock (not so much roll), birth of muscle cars, woodstock, etc, etc. Before the time of think tanks and a society that frowned upon 'good, clean fun'!

I wish i was a teenager in the sixties. The generation was just cool. The nineties were kinda angry and just sorta sucked.
