Someone will be remembered. It's very unlikely to be me, unless human lifespans get a lot longer, which TBF they probably will.
Gorbachev will probably still be famous at some point after 3025, let alone 2625, although he might be forgotten and then popularised in between.
I think some of the tech geniuses of our time will be remembered since it was the birth of the internet.
I mean, we remember Da Vinci, Columbus, and Martin Luther. That was 600 years ago.
Considering how small my online presence is, nope. I'll be remember until the last of my family kick the bucket.
According to The Vandals, no. It's a fact.
i sure fuckin hope not i don't even wanna remember me most days now
Maybe.
I mean, if the internet is preserved, someone might eventually dig through these comments right now.
Due to mass surveillance and big data, people 600 years from now are more likely for find remnants of you, than you are to find remnants of someone from 600 years ago.
*Assuming humans and the technology survive, that is
Gods no. Who would want to know about me in the future?
not if you don't make art
I read books from people that died centuries or even millennia ago (ok in their case, their writings are not technically speaking books, but you get the idea). So, a few of us could be remembered as well.
Alas, there is a difference in our days and age: all our creations, text, images and sound, are digital. There is hardly any hardcopy anymore. And I doubt much if any of most of our 'dematerialized' content and even worse our cloud stored/streamed content will survive long after the last person stops paying the monthly fee. And even for those that don't are not cloud -stored, I doubt much will survive more than a few years after we have passed. Digital doesn't decay well.
For those future human beings, if there are any left to study our times,, we could as well be known as the 'voiceless trash age', without much artifacts left beside a planet filled with waste and plastic craps. Oh, and piles and piles of dead smartphones, too.
Paper didn't survive much either. All we have of old documents are copies of copies of copies of copies, really. Even the most important documents- from those making up the Holy Bible to the Magna Carta - we just don't have.
