Our stupid descendants

(An xkcd production)

Reminds me of the line from the Isaac Asimov story "The Feeling of Power," about "primitive man, with his stone axes and railroads."

And, presumably, terrorists will be depicted like pirates are today, roguish but honorable Disney heroes. Women will wear cheerleading uniforms to funerals. Astronauts will carry pistols designed in 1911 -- oh wait, that already happened in the original "Planet of the Apes." Gas guzzler cars will have voice-interactive -- oh wait, that already happened in the original "Knight Rider." Doctors serving in the Korean War will express attitudes entirely -- oh, wait --
