What will our grandkids learn of our time period in history?
They'll sit down in history class and learn about all the things of the past that we have, but most history books cut off at about 30-40 years ago, because some facts change slightly. Will music be an important asset? Is anything we talk about on ATRL important to life in the future? What things from the present will be important to history in the future?

Well, my fav has a college course about her, so that's saying something. 
Most of the other girls, I don't think will go down in history. No shade, that's just the way it is.

They will be surprise that people die from AIDS just like us being surprised that people in the past died because of having cold or flu.

Now that I think about it, Obama becoming America's first elected African-American President will be in there.

9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, Obama being elected, gay rights, and of course, most importantly, the rise and domination of Lady Gaga.

The only music artists that will be historic in pop culture as of 2010: MJ, Madonna, The Beatles, Elvis, Britney Spears, Beyonce/Destiny's Child days, NSYNC days & Justin possibly, and Christina possibly. That's it...at this time, and I know I left out dozens of idols from the past, they're idolized in pop culture too. (It really took a true stan gut not to add my faves onto that list.)

I'm pretty sure Shontelle and Auburn should be in there as well.
