Interesting poll on Slashdot. Personally, I would have liked to be born in 1945, in USA (not in 1973 in Greece). After the WWII, USA saw a huge boost in the economy and the ’50s was probably the best decade ever (economically, politically, artistically, technologically etc). Growing up in the ’50s would guarantee a very healthy and rich childhood, and you would be just in time for the rock/hippy revolution as a teenager. What more one would want? 😉
