Makes me think about what people 400 - 500 years from now will think about what we leave behind - everything from monuments & memorials to movie posters, album cover art, the little toys in " Happy Meals " & other plastic & metal bits & bobs. What of the Arche de Triomphe, the Sistine Chapel, the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry, I. M. Pei ( Not to mention the computer hard drives of containing data on BILLIONS of users ! ) ?
