How do you think our current culture is going to be perceived in 100 years?

The average person probably won't know any more about 2010 than the average person knows about 1910 now. But since you mentioned the history books, well at least the books (or whatever they have then) will be quite well informed. But their perspectives will depend a great deal on what actually happens between now and then.

For example, some possibilities are: - Early 21st century... those were the stupid clowns that finally screwed up the environment beyond repair and talked endlessly about climate change but never did anything to stop it. They're why we have such a mess today. - Early 21st century... that was one the greatest generations... the time when humanity finally got its act together, started managing its resources well and got rid of all that barbaric poverty there used to be.

Can you imagine that once upon a time nearly a billion people were undernourished? (And get this... a billion people were seriously obese at the very same time! Unbelievable huh?

You laugh... but it wasn't funny then. ) - Early 21st century... the last days before synthetic lifeforms and artificial intelligences. But they weren't as primitive as you'd think back then, a lot of people lived quite well and had pretty good access to knowledge.

Of course without the help of AIs they more or less muddled through everything. Their technology used to often go wrong, and they had lots of economic and social problems as well, because everything they tried to do always had serious unintended consequences that they were never able to think through. - Early 21st century... the build up to World War III.

The period leading to the Second US Civil War, after which an increasingly fundamentalist America was set more or less on an inevitable collision course with China. We all know what happened in WW3, and these things were the prelude. Storians are still debating if it was ever avoidable.

- Early 21st century... people then wouldn't have been aware, but these were the last days of major divisions between humans. The people of the time saw all kinds of conflicts happening, and thought things were going from bad to worse. What they didn't realize was that as diverse kinds of people were increasingly being thrown together, it would soon become automatic for everyone everywhere to have a good understanding of radically different points of view to their own, and the primitive tribalism of the time was on the way out.

I think the perception will depend on the type of person, but I think overall we'll be seen the same way we currently see culture from 100 years ago - outdated and somewhat primitive. As time passes, even the most incredible inventions are intertwined with everyday life. Things like early cars, televisions, and guns often get laughs because of how simple they were, and I image people 100 years from now will feel the same way about our inventions.

Even though our technology innovation will seem primitive, I believe it might be seen as the "electronic revolution" or something else similar to the industrial revolution, but for computing.

Backwards. People 100 years ago, didn't know about the sufferage of women. From Wiki: Woman suffrage in the United States was achieved gradually, at state and local levels, during the 19th Century and early 20th Century, culminating in 1920 with the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which provided: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."

Women's sufferage movement started in 1848. It took almost 72 years for men to finally 'allow' all WHITE women to vote in the US. On a tangent of this 2065, people will look back to 1965, and wonder why it took so long for people to allow all BLACKS to vote in the US.

Or not, depending on who you are (in reference to the KKK). 100 years ago people moved at a slower pace, because of few communications technology. Good or bad, I don't know.

The telephone just became widely available. Now if we can't you on the telephone, we'll email, fax, text, page...etc. Prohibition started in 1907, and lasted until 1948 (Prohibition was not limited to the US, it started in Prince Edward Island). Then we found out, people drink for reasons other than getting drunk, so again we let people drink.

These are just a couple of examples that I remembered. I'm sure there are more than that, to prove my point. :o).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
