I wonder if anything from today will still be around in 2000 years, it is such a long time by today's standards.
The humankind progressed very slowly from the early time of Babylon (some five thousand years ago) through the time of Rome - both civilizations seem equally ancient to us. But today, even one hundred years seems an incredibly long time.
On the other hand - and somehow it is hard to believe -
hundreds or thousands of years ago people were the same as now, with the individual and cultural differences from us probably being smaller than the differences that exist between us right now.
