In 100 Years from Now

People from the future will be reading all we have written here.

Perhaps they will fall in love with one of us. The perfect match, if not for the 100 year difference.

Do you have anything you'd like to say to the people of 3023?
 

Sure. To both the 100 year from now crowd, AND the 1000 year from now crowd.

I'm sorry for the world you inherited. But all is not lost. You can set a new path for things, and do what's right for the blue marble and yourselves. Greed, avarice, and self-serving policies that prioritize wealth over any and all else, leads not to freedom, but enslavement to the system. We got it wrong, and let the system run the people, rather than the people running the system. We should have done better, and we failed you. For that, we beg forgiveness and hope you find the strength of character we didn't.

Oh Beez, that's deep for 5 a.m.! Okay, my opinion (hope no one asks what I'm basing it on because I have NO idea...) is that no one will be reading us in a hundred years because the Internet as we know it will no longer exist in its current form. All these words will be lost into oblivion forever. If I'm wrong, then I'd like to say hello, and I hope you are getting some giggles from watching granny and gramps try to explain their antiquated ideas.

I should have said something along those lines, but decided to play along. The very idea that anything here will be of interest in 100 years is.... fanciful.

There are better ways to communicate - the video form is one - but that only really works for top level stuff, imo.

In 100 years we won't be looking at screens as we are today.
 
To the people of the future:

I wish to enroll in Starfleet. Could you please time-travel back to me, and spirit me away from this benighted age? I yearn to be a citizen in the United Federation of Planets, but was born much too soon. I’d work hard in Starfleet Academy, and my personal knowledge of life in mid-to late-20th and early 21st century America might be interesting to historians. When trained and re-educated, I would gladly serve in any capacity on any Starfleet vessel or starbase…

I wish to boldly go where no one has gone before. Please come for me, and beam me up! I have a dream…

That's 1,000 years and presuming humans will still walk this earth.
 
I don't think people a hundred years from now would be all that into us. When was the last time you browsed through letters people wrote in 1923? But 1,000 years from now? Oh, yeah, some archeologist will be thrilled to unearth a Melmac plate.

My parents were both born in 1923, 100 years ago, and my grandparents in ~1895. I visit sites to try to understand the world they were born into. I went to the movie 1917 to get a glimpse of what trench warfare was like (both of my grandfathers served in France in WW1).

I suspect and hope that 100 years from now there will be some folks who have an interest in who we were, and how we lived. Not everyone, but some.
