20 years from now will be better... I think anytime in the future is good to be alive at that time because you're alive at the 'latest' point in time. Everyone who died yesterday would love to be alive today. We can only know what we have and can experience today though, someday there may be FTL travel, that'll be exciting. Someday we may even find friendly or even non-friendly E.T.'s that'll be exciting too. Someday robots may do ALL menial tasks while mankind enjoys our time in research and scientific endeavors. Money may not even exist and we might value knowledge and learning above all else.

This time is definitely the best time we've had, but the future looks very interesting. I long for immortality tech not because I fear for death, I fear missing out on what the future holds.
