Date: June 15th, 2018 1:28 PM Author: fuchsia bearded son of senegal den World leaders & presidents, obviously
The tech titans of today will go down as the Fords and Rockafellers of a century ago. Especially Bill Gates
I expect most celeberities and athletes to become forgotten over time as different sports rise and fall in popularity, cultural changes, new people arriving on the scene |

Richest man for a long time. Tech pioneer. Putting his name out there through charities and shit. This country reveres people like Gates. |
|
Date: June 15th, 2018 1:50 PM Author: hideous goal in life I don't know, people today remember Ford because they think he invented the car, and Ford cars still exist today. Carnegie gets remembered because of his university, libraries and museums: tangible things. Also he was an eccentric, kooky character with memorable quotes and stuff.
Rockefeller somehow became a synonym for "rich guy", and there was a whole multigenerational family of them, in business, politics, etc. "The Rockefellers".
I just don't think if Bill Gates will be as easily remembered. MSFT and the Gates Foundation probably won't exist in 200 years. I doubt his kids will do anything memorable. Maybe if he had three sons and pushed them all into being businessmen/politicians it would be different. I mean, we're talking about 200 years from now. |

Studious people will know about Bill Clinton having a sex scandal. ("Wasnt he the president with the oral sex?")
People will know there were decades of wars with Muslims over oil
People will know about 9/11
People will know about the first black Potus. His funny name helps.
And -- here's my hot-take -- Caitlyn Jenner will be famous as an example of a Salem-like mass hysteria that defines an entire era |
|
Date: June 15th, 2018 2:24 PM Author: fuchsia bearded son of senegal den Frankly i think Bill Clinton’s sex adventures will be forgotten. Throughout history many rulers had crazy, promiscuous sex lives and cultural changes may shift away from the puritan norms we are used to.
Definitely agree about 9/11 (modern day pearl harbor) and the ongoing middle eastern wars of the last few decades. Within America at least (if it still exists), I expect Bin Laden and maybe Saddam Hussein to be remembered |

Date: June 15th, 2018 2:56 PM Author: Copper drunken gas station Killing Bin Laden will only be remembered as a small part of 9-11 and its aftermath.

|
Date: June 15th, 2018 3:04 PM Author: Fluffy pale lettuce brunch The racial element could make the OJ trial more memorable - people will think it illustrates the racial tension in the U.S.

popular sports are a function of mass culture
It wasn’t until railroads were well established — first in England — that modern sports emerged because school teams could now travel, and so needed common rules. Before about 1860, games were extremely idiosyncratic from place to place. |

basketball and certainly football will not even be played in 200 years.
it will be presidents and world leaders and tech innovators. from the world of pop culture, the person will have to have significance insofar as he represents a cultural shift that we may be mostly oblivious to. That's why I nominate Caitlyn Jenner. |
