Not in a depressive manner, though I've been there and experienced that.
I mean that I feel as though I should have been born thousands of years in the future, because I can see how absolutely ignorant current society is and how corrective measures are not being taken. Not that the future will be any better, at this rate, yet a drop of optimism makes me want to think the future will be better than the present.
In a thousand years you might be able to pick the society you live in. Alan Dean Foster's Commonwealth Amalgamation is one possible such future.
