What will the future think of our present days?

I looked at a book on certain subjects that happened in the 80s and 90s. I was surprised that there were many things that I didn't know about those years. It made me wonder what I wouldn't be knowing now.

I don't think we can know what the future will think, because we can't tell what's going on now. Only with time do the significant things stand out.

I don't think must people in the future will care about our present day, just like most modern people don't care about history now.

Our era would be referred to as a calm before the storm, i.e. a long stretch of peace before WW2 and WW3.

As a great period, it is. It has never been better. If I would be a pessimist I would only wonder wether or not it gets any better then this. Shut up, enjoy, have to make due with it anyway.

That's what people of all ages probably said.

In the same vein, I will certainly annoy annyone younger than me with tales of how much better things were in my day.
