I used to think that when future humans dug up remains of our civilization

[Viva_La_Revolution]

they would find us simple and quaint.

I imagined a H.S. field trip, pimply faces children gently brushing the dust of ages from our TeeVee’s and Blackberries...

But it won’t be like that at all.

Future forms of Homo-sapiens will discover artifacts of our ‘magical’ society and interpret that we were Gods.

We may end up just one big molten clump.

5. *If* they can figure out how to study us.

For example, what would an archaeologist from the year 3000 think of a CD? I mean, if they found a vinyl LP record, they might figure out that the spiral groove maps to sound waves (although they would probably play the thing backwards, learning only that Paul is dead). But a CD? No way. The info is so tightly coded they would never figure it out.
