    To catch the emergence of the internet as a mass medium and even be part of 2000s web design boom as a young kid, too see AI development unfold -- this is the best time to be alive, within a 1000 years perimeter backward and forward in time (maybe not in terms of life quality, but it is the most interesting time period)

    I probably won't be able to visit other planets/experience space tourism, but the 20th and 21th centuries are the turning point in human history, enjoy every moment of it
