What do you think people in the future will think about this time?

Hey all, I've recently become fascinated with history, I've been looking at old photos of the street I live on and another I'm going to be living on soon (attached for anyone interested) one isn't too old (1975) but the other is from 1919. First thing I noticed was the lack of cars!! These streets are filled with parked cars now. From this I've been looking at other old photos around London and the people in them, I know we weirdly tend to romanticise the past, but I do think everybody looked a little bit smarter back then (dress wise) and it's got me thinking what will people in the future think about our time now, in terms of how we dressed, events that happened, people who existed, how things were generally

I'm equally fascinated, and love collecting old postcards - I have quite a few old views of London streets.

It does make me think that in maybe just 50 years time, people will look at pictures of what our towns, villages and countryside used to be like in the 2020's, and think "Fuck, what have we done?".
