Spectre1979 Posted July 19, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2011 What will the age we live in be remembered for? Will we be at all? We look back on the pyramids, stone henge, etc but what have we built that will last? Will we just be remembered for our destruction? Just a random thought I had and decided to see what others think!

Trog Posted July 19, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Good question Spectre .... And as has already been mentioned , we did travel far and we did blow things up , but I think we'll be remembered as the generation of people who raped the planet .

Old Hippie Blogger Posted July 19, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Why do you think there will be anybody left to remember? But if there are, maybe we will be remembered for poisoning the atmosphere and the oceans? Eliminating the middle class? Genocide and war on an unprecedented level? But with a little luck, maybe it will be as the generation that discovered clean energy, co-operation as opposed to competition, social equality and tolerance. I supposed it is up to us. We all recognize the problems, and the choices we make now will determine the answer to the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
