I was built for this day and age. The 21st Century. The Information Age. The Digital Age. It doesn't matter what you want to call it, the fact is, I was born at the right time. Don't get me wrong. Like everyone else, I fantasize about living during other time periods. I'm often loading my musket in the Revolutionary War, trudging down the Silk Road, loading an arrow while defending a medieval English castle, conversing with Socrates, or organizing an uprising against the totalitarian government of the dystopian future. However, consciously, I would not change a single fact about my life. Even if you gave me a googolplex number of chances to change the date I materialized in this world, I would choose Jan. 12, 1991 every time.
Why is this time in history so perfect for me? Why have I always considered myself the "prototype of future man?" The answer lies in who I am, what I believe in, and how I was raised. I'm definitely not the first of "my kind." But this "new kind of living" is something that has always been intuitive to my being. And because it is natural to me, it's hard for me to express my mindset to other people. Here is my attempt at it.
