They'll think the current season of The Simpsons is far better than the early years....

They will be thinking the same way we think of people 200 years ago -- a society with primitive technology (or worse, ancient technology since today's technology evolves too fast). Although the society of 200 years ahead can obtain better information of our time because today we have the technology to store records, revive or restore old records to a more secure or safer storage devices that could last years. Our records are far more well-documented compared to the society of 200 years ago; and just in the next three decades, our records will be restored again... like the way we restore old movies that were recorded three or four decades ago on tapes then onto DVD's.
I wonder if the society of 200 years ahead will be saddened, too, to witness the 9/11 on video clips? But who knows what will happen during the years and decades to come? I hope there'll be no more 9/11-like tragedies to happen.

I don't think there will be a society in 200 years. Or 100 years for that matter. Just take a look at how far this world has advanced in the past 100 years. I doubt this planet can sustain another 100 years.

I think they'll view this generation as particularly greedy and egocentric. This generation doesn't even give any serious thought as to what resources (oil and water to name a few) will be left in 50 years, let alone 100 or 200 years.
Most people can't think past the current 3rd quarter, let alone 100-200 years from now.
And your question is based on the premise that a society is left to judge us...

The way society has deteriorated in the last 50 years you wouldn't want to guess about the next 100 years. People have lost the plot.

It all depends on who wins the wars, and who writes the history books!

that will depend a lot on the interpretations of the historians. but my guess is they will see this as a period where the war of civilisations just started.

I'm not sure, but I reckon they'd think that we hated our enviroment, because of all the polution we pump into our skies.

they will think we were primitive, like one can think a victorian is primitive, because they did not have televisions and they thought it was funny to watch ppl get hung...
