My grandfather was born in 1912.
I tried to remember what he was doing or how his life in vn was like when so and so happening in the world news and during such time.
He lived through it and have seen through it. Would I want to be born during such times and be dead by now? Hell effing no.
It would mean I would miss out tomorrow's news. If you ask them if they would like to be born a little later so they can see and witness that trump, cot dayam trump will be a president of the united state, they would take that chance. Not that trump is great and all but more of a laughter if I tell them that when my grandpa was still alive.
Here is a picture of the 50s. You telling me that you would like to be in your 20s and enjoying this and beyond? It would mean that you would be old or dead by now. Eff that.
If you are in your 30s, 40s to even 50s, you were born in one of the best era of history. Your picture book if comparable to later generations will be just as cool as your kid's and their kid's picture book. The only difference is advance in technology aka color prints
Other than that, good chances that your grandkids will still listen to junk rap music.
