I can only imagine the vast amount of raw data that future historians will have access to. Today, our archaeologists can extrapolate so much information about ancient civilizations from a few mud bowls and skeletons.
Tomorrow, there will be a whole class of historians called web historians who will create massive statistical computer programmes to analyse the significant events and social developments of the past. There will be archaeologists who specialize in ancient digital protocols and hardware manufacturing. And, I suspect, there still be people waiting for the Year of the Linux on the Desktop. (Except that desktops will have long been replaced by personal computers embedded in our bodies.)
