Tricky question. On one hand, if you put you and I in the BC ages, I'd say we probably would've been quite happy (assuming we didn't contract some incurable disease at an early age), however, had we known what kind of things there would be 5,000 years later in 2005 AD, I would definitely want to live here now, than back then.
I dunno about you, but I like life. I enjoy playing video games (particularly NHL 2005), something I wouldn't have been able to do 5,000 years ago. TV is certainly enjoyable, and I'm sure about 4 billion other people would agree. Food itself tastes better now, and there's more information available to us that makes us eat healthier and live longer.
Sure there's war and stuff now, but that' just human nature. People were fighting 5,000 years ago too. Maybe morals have gone down, people curse a lot more (I dunno about you, but I say the "F" word about 15 times a day, at least), and there's a lot more sex on TV...things like that, but so what?
I think the good outweighs the bad, when comparing 2005 AD, to 3005 BC.
