I daydream about what our present time will seem like to people in the future. How our landfills will be a great source of well-preserved materials forty, fifty, sixty feet down in the bread-loaf shaped mounds that we create. Its’ a strange thing to think that everything we know and see will come to pass, that our lives and everything we do and use every day will one day be old-fashioned and outdated.

I think about what future archaeologists will guess about our lives based on what they find.  They will probably misinterpret all kinds of things because context is so ephermeral.  Drew once mentioned a book about that very thing, which I should probably find & read soon.

Edit: I did find & read it.  Premise, excellent; execution, meh.
