In a thousand years … they’ll just refer to this period as an extension of our Dark Ages, the period where humanity evolved from prehistoric hunter gatherers to a technological species … we don’t think or act any differently than our ancestors a few hundred years ago … the only difference is that we have satellites, internet memes and nuclear weapons
Got it … Nice find … didn’t even notice until you pointed it out
But your original comment just made me think that we look at the immediate generations next to us on a hundred year timeline … it’s very important to us because we’re living it right now. But in a few hundred years, they won’t look at the different generations, they’ll examine entire periods.
It would be like a Roman from the year 100 arguing about the generation from 10BC to 10AD and how much different they are from those born in 20 AD
The differences are obvious to us now … but they won’t matter to a historian looking at larger periods of time in a thousand years.

I meant that that entire date range is marked as Generation Beta. Looks like it was supposed to be 2026 instead of 1926.

What a September 2023 comment 😒. Seriously though, that’s a neat way to think about it and I agree
Nice precognition device. How do you make it go?
The acceleratrix is here …

I was there Gandalf, one hundred years ago
