Like in 3021 a school class watches a documentary about the 21st century and their looking at thousand year old HD footage

By that time, I'm sure their normal viewing resolution will be far higher than ours. So it will still look like crap to them lol.

That would be insane and one of my biggest fantasies is being able to go back in time and watch people living thousands of years ago.

I dont know enough about the technology or how precarious/not precarious digital storage of this sort of stuff is to say whether its even possible for them to last until 3021.

That'll be outdated technology for them.

Time travel would be amazing for the historic documentary industry. Imagine if people had the tech to go back in time but be invisible and untouchable or detected like ghosts, and they just filmed historic events

So all those ghosts and other supernatural phenomena are just schoolkids on a field trip?

I don't think today's methods of storage will last anywhere near that long

Yeah but if undetectable you could have people just go back 1-2 years and go into some top level government secret projects and spy. Definitely would be abused in the wrong way

1080p will be like watching a 1950s projector or something.

By then, everything will be in the "Matrix" and uploaded to our minds, so regular displays probably won't exist. I wish I was born in the year 2500.

Won't things just keep getting updated to the newest formats as they come out?

I wouldn't be surprised

After all, people in 1950 thought we'd be living on lunar colonies by now.
