The funny thing about all this is .... what are we getting wrong today?
There are practices, beliefs, sayings and actions that we completely normalize in our current time. Future generations may look at us strangely for the things we portray today without us knowing.
I've been thinking about this.
Eating meat will be the big one. You look at history and meat was a rare treat, now it's the main part of almost every meal.
People will watch media where the characters grab a hotdog on the street corner and it will seem both barbaric and decadent.
There's probably something we are doing with children too that will seem odd. It takes a village to raise them after all and we isolate them with two parents that also have to work full time jobs. Can't be good for either.
Nah, soon there will be synthetic meat and eating it will be better than ever.
Common adoption of synthetic meat would make the act of eating real animals seem even more fucked up.
Yeah it would be reserved for the fucked-up decadent 1%.
Memes are a good example of a snapshot in time that doesn’t make sense 10, 20 years after.
People will look at a dancing baby and wonder why we thought it was worth sharing.
Probably the first viral meme I ever saw on the internet .... but back then it was the size of a postage stamp on a 12" CRT monitor and it made us feel like it was the year 2050 ... funny enough, the first GIF (or animated image file, I didn't know what I was looking at) I ever saw was porn on a wealthy friend's 386 PC and we all thought he was the coolest person alive.
