Indeed... they were all spot on. Each one a basis for a great si-fi story. I picked one because I was to lazy to pick more.

-Our science will be seen as uninformed as the early Middle Ages medicine is to us.
-Our wars will be studied for all their short sited immediate goals much as we view the Crusades.
-Our most grand buildings will still be recognizable as city skylines are always changing. But a lot of information as to who built them will be long lost as our future humans will wonder how could people be so wasteful in building a limited structure.
-All our great wars that we think are so important, will be no more important to the future historians as we view Song's moving the capital of China to Hangzhou. The names of the major players will still be read about, but not so greatly studied.
-And lastly, people in the future will wonder why the Statue of Liberty was taken down & replaced with the 100 foot tall Obama statue.

That is a great and hilarious post.

That won't be happening as these things are real small. The real time from when things actually started getting documented and preserved was from the late 1700's onwards. Imagine how much info they'll have piled up in a 1000 years when we have so much in 250 years.

Truthfully though I believe that our chances of making a 1,000 years into the future are quite slim.

People have been saying this since humanity started.
