Ruins

As I walk around the ancient marble with intricate carvings and the delicate paint on plaster, I have to wonder to myself, will the people 3000 years from now—if mankind still exists—be walking around in my ruins? Will they criticize the crude workmanship of our houses, wonder how we lived this way? Will they marvel at our traditions? Or will the memories of our time eclipse tangible objects, instead opting to highlight us as the digital era? Shall Blogs and Facebook become the fossils and stone tablets? Will digital archaeologists decipher html and code instead? Who knows, who knows.
