Ever wonder about the historians of the future? ever wonder what they will say about what is happening right now? which events will they consider to be of more importance and what events happening today will students of the future be taught in school?
Do you think that they will still tlak in a 100 years about gandhi? or about marthin luther king? this thread is for sharing what events you the members of SEN feel that should be in the history books and why.

hmm this is very intresting. what i think what they will be teaching in schools is more about technology, because right now technology is moving so fast that in 100 years it will be outstanding.

The historians of the future might talk about colonies on different planets. They wouldn't talk about nonsense.

We woiuld be the period of time in which world wide economies were screwing themselves ovr by depending on on-renewable resources and getting into huge debt. This is the time when obesity was very common and an epidemic. his will be the time in which the UN started to lose power because it doesn't do as much as it had once done. This would be the time that people wasted their technology and computers on looking at pronography instead of working their brains on sopmething interactve (likea forum, 
), but forums were slowly becoming more popular. This is the time in which people would become addicted to smoking plants and kill people. This would be the time in which the evil overlord of George Bush Jr. became the ruler of the US. (last one was a joke, sort of...)
This would also be the time into which quantum physics started to be heavily analyzed. This would be the time into which religion started to lose control over everyone elses' lives. This would be the time in which people realized they have to change the way they are doing things in order to have a stable world for their children and grand children. This would be the time in which cross breeding was becoming mroe and more popular; and studies into genetics really started to take root and benefit society. This would be the time in which thing slike stem cell research started to gain more support in order to improve the lives of living people and give possible second chances. This would be the time when we actually had a clue as to what the heck caused things to happen in this wrold.

another qeustion just came to mind. how will people track it all? your post brought this to mind zerg, i mean throughout history a lot has happend, but usually it is spread out over a large time period, or a decade or so. great events/ discoveries are happening so fast right now, how will future historians keep track of it all?

we are going through a technology revolution right now that most people are overlooking.
I think they'll laugh at us for having i-pods.

He did not free any slaves..
He merely campaigned for rights of African Americans, etc.

Ghandi had a lot of philosophy with him to carry. And we learn from his philosophy.

How about "This was the time where SC was king in Korea"?
Realistically, I'd say this is the time where people started to use computers and stuff. LIke over the last and next few decades. The computer revolution has not ended. Yet. IMHO anyways.

I think that if they talk about the technology revolution of the late 20th early 21st century it will something to the extent of "great advances in technology were made" and they will give some examples. I don't think that computers, and most certainly not tvs, will ever "teach" students. At most the teacher will be in a chatroom with students so they can ask questions if necessary. Or if AI is actually and properly developed, we are 1) screwed and 2)will not have a need for teachers anymore. Because true AI would be able to overwrite programming... a scary thought.
I think that America is a pretty stable nation, and will continue to remain a nation for centuries to come. However, it may very well change and probably will in the future. I know that I sound off-topic but I'm just writing about what teachers will teach in History in years to come. These days are not too proud to speak of.

true that... whats weird to think is that gandhi in relative terms really didnt happen to long ago... i mean gandhi is very new compared to others... also Gandhi didnt come up with his philosiphsies alone, he was inspired from other such as Hnery David Throaue (not sure on spelling on last name)

you mean was inspired by? becuase gandhi was clearly motivated by Throeau (again spelling?) most notably his essay titled Civil Disobidence. IN this essay throau talks about how he refuses to pay the poll tax, which he feels funds the mexican war. Throaeu sets up the premise for civil disobedience that gandhi puts into practice in india.
Edit: wanted to add something
do you think that in the future people will consider 9/11 as a major turning point in history?

Unless the fact the the US went to Afghanistan and then iraq ended up sparking something like a nuclear war; it's be no more than a footnote. Things a lot worse have happened. The tsunami killed a lot more people than those that died in 9-11

hmm, in history though the fall of the bastille was considerd very important becuase it represented the outlash of the parisans, in this way i could see 9/11 to be considerd very important.
