How much do you rally know and remember from your ancestors which is more than a handful and always the same stories? How did that really influence you? We can look back, we are not a magic generation unique to all the other generations before us. We know what's going to happen with us and our legacies.

One difference between the current and previous generations is just how much information is recorded by and about us. There will be a lot more evidence of the existence and experiences of people alive today than people of a century ago. Whether people will care to look is a different matter.

  One large-scale EMP incident, and that is no longer the case. We have alot more data now, but I am not sure how durable it all is. I have quite a few DVDs and hard drives that no longer work.

    CDs/DVDs typically oxidize after 15 years. Print the book version on vellum, and you'll preserve it for a few thousand years (or ANSI paper with the infinity sign, which supposedly lasts for at least 750 years).

  We do have a lot more data however we don’t have enough time to absorb it. Until something like Neuralink improves that, I don’t think it would be much different. So many of us take pictures all the time but how many of us really go back and look at the old pictures? And do we really have the time to view all pictures from our own time let alone previous generations?

  True and that makes it even more visible how little the future cares for you. My mum is the only one who likes to look through our holiday pictures. They will be there and no one will care. Only some ml tool to potentially tell my future Familie members that I might have been depressed based on pictures and the ml notes it down for potential medical relevant information. No one will know what I liked and disliked. No one will see that my life had ups and downs. I really thought Facebook would be a great thing. Sharing and seeing what my Familie is up to but no one is using it for sharing family pictures. And I myself I'm sometimes annoyed by too many WhatsApp pictures. I do get why it is like this but realizing and accepting it took a bit
