Who will be remembered 1000 years from now

Journal by Gaaark

From the I-must-remember-to-start-a-major-war-and-mass-genocide dept.

Here's an interesting thought: who will be remembered 1000 years from now?

I'd say Adolf Hitler, for one. But not Donald Trump or Hillary.
Churchill (Adolf's arch enemy)? Maybe by the British, but.....

Elon Musk?
Carrot Top?

Kim Kardashian for frell's sake???

    None of our recorded media will last that long. Find a CD or tape with the durability of papyrus and clay. On the other hand, some of those old 78s might last.

    The people that will be remembered because they were recorded on semi-durable media will be:

    Sinatra, Hope, and Crosby
    Glenn Miller
    Goodman
    Dorsey
    Ella Fitzgerald
    The Duke
    Rosemary Clooney (they gotta etch her picture in glass!)
    Elvis.. who?

    These are people worth remembering.

    For everybody else it will be a giant game of "telephone"

    L. Ron Hubbard might just hold out.. if religion remains tax deductible.
