Lets face it.
Our ancestors did a pretty piss poor job of leaving remnants of there past behind. Most of it not there fault.
Heck we still have people arguing if Jesus walked the EARTH or not and that was only 2000 years ago.
My grampa spent thousands of dollars trying to trace his family tree only able to get to about 5 or 6 generations ago.

But it seems to me like this technology generation that we live in now is doing a pretty damm good job of keeping a great history of the way we live our life.

Our generations from 20 generations from now should have a field day seeing the way we lived our life.

I mean the NSA is building a database facility in UTAH or NEVADA that will record every keystroke type on your keyboard from today till the end of time.

1000 years from now im sure this thread im starting right now will be somewhere in cyber space.

If I lived 1000 years from now I would be completely fascinated going back in time on the internet 1000 years to find out how my great great great great great great great great great great grampa was.

Just imagine today being able to watch a home video of the happening of something that happened 1000 years ago.

That would be amazing.

Just imagine if we had video footage of Columbus sailing the ocean blue.
If we had video of the crucifiction of Christ.
Or if we had video of the maiden voyage of the Mayflower to the USA.


Just imagine how good the people 1000 years from now are going to have it.

1000 years from now someone is going to be able to read there great grampa x20's facebook page.

1000 years from now people are going to get to see footage of the WTC bombings.

1000 years from now after SuperBowl 1047 people can watch a replay of superbowl 47.


1000 years from now someone can watch an episode of The Honeymooners.


Its going to be incredible.

I don't think. One thousand years from now is unimaginable. I'm sure they'll study this time period in general though.

Unless we have a nuclear war of epic proportions that threatens the very existence of human kind, I am almost 100% sure that every post me and you makes on this forum will be somewhere in existence 1000 years from now.
It would be utterly amazing to go back in time 1000 years ago 1000 years from now to see exactly the way people live then.

If you ask someone from the 70's to imagine what life would be like in 2012 they wouldn't be able to predict most of the technology we have now. Hell, even Star Trek or Star Wars couldn't predict the internet or smart phones. Even life 100 years from now will be unimaginable if it keeps going the way it's going now.

I agree, but no matter what things are like 1000 years from now. People will have access to the data thats out in cyberspace right now.

Nah, people will still computing in some capacity...just in a far more advanced and complex way than they are now. I've told people I don't think computer screens will ever go away since people won't want to write a 20-page term paper or work on an excel spreadsheet on something the size of an iphone. Although who the fuck knows what kind of software will be used for those applications that far in the future...?

What else is interesting is it's only been in the last 200 years or so of mankind we've seen any real technological progress. For 2,000 years, it was stagnant. Then came the telephone, the car, the internet, etc. Wonder why that is...

You wonder what? Why more technology can create more technology? Why there is a compounding effect?

I think technology is so exponential that we really cannot fathom what things will be like in 1000 years.... 100 years maybe, 1000 is ridiculously long. Good chance we are no longer on earth in a significant capacity....maybe our trash planet
