400 years from now no one will care. It's likely that 400 years from now no one will ever have heard of any of these shows. Think about how much content is being produced every single year, month, week, day, second. We've expanded beyond TV and film. We've gone to YouTube, Vimeo, Vines, etc., and we're just in the infancy. Then, we have other content providers like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and they're all doing their own content. Imagine 400 years of content. 8 years of the Kardashians won't even be a blip. Hell, can any of us tell the difference between, say, 1814 and 1815? Or, let's go bigger. Can we name the differences between the 1820s and 1830s? Can we name a single book that was published between 1820 and 1830? Let's go back 400 years. What happened in 1643? 1624? 1693? Seriously, in 400 years, people will lump the 1900s together and likely have no concept of the difference between 1950 and 1990, even though to us it's a completely different world and lifestyle. In 400 years, 1990 won't be different from 2000, which won't be different from 2010. But in 1990, we couldn't even get online and we had 8 bit video gaming. In 2000, internet was a pretty regular thing among households and we had the PlayStation and were just a 1-2 years away from PS2. In 2010, we have the beginning of touch screen smartphone wars where we have internet online and have streaming television. 1990, 2000, 2010....they're a WORLD of a difference to us right now. But in 2400, people will lump all of 1900-2100 into maybe 4 or 5 periods, like 1900 -1980 as one era, 1980-2020 as another, 2020-2050, then 2050-2100, or something like that. A show like the Kardashians won't even be remembered. What's scarier is that a show like Breaking Bad won't be remembered, either. There were so many great films in the 40s, 50s, and 60s -- back then, people would have discussions over the best 25 films. Most people couldn't even name 5 films from that era, and if they do, it's the same 5-8 films most people name. In 2400, all these Marvel films won't matter. Iron Man 1-3, Avengers 1-3, Captain America 1-3, etc.... Batman vs. Superman... just a speck of dust in the grand scheme of media. Sad to say, but even Star Wars won't matter much beyond its historical aspect as the first big blockbuster series -- the quality will be looked at as "horrible" but "likely amazing for its time." Even now, we look back at the 1977 film and think about how wooden the performances were and how bad a lot of the elements were, but we overlooked them because of nostalgia. In 2400, no one will have nostalgia over Star Wars, and it will have just a tiny little corner in a film museum that gets virtually no visitors. 400 years....that's a really, really long time. So much of what we feel is SO SIGNIFICANT, like Donald Trump, the Kardashians, or even real issues like North Korea, Africa, the Middle East, by 2400 things will likely be figured out, optimistically. Or maybe not. None of us will be around to see it. And nothing we have done, we have created, we have experienced....NOTHING that represents us, you, me....NOTHING will exist in 400 years. How many people who lived 400 years ago can you name? I bet the first instinct is to say "Christopher Columbus!" Wrong, off by about 120 years. Really, none of us will matter. Given a long enough time frame, even the most famous people from today's era -- Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Stephen Hawking, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Lady GaGa, James Cameron, Stephen Spielberg, Katy Perry, Tom Cruise, Lionel Messi, Ronaldo, Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk -- it's likely that almost all of these people will have ZERO PLACE in the average person's head in 400 years. In 400 years, there will most likely be someone who will play better basketball than Michael Jordan, make even more groundbreaking computer innovations than Bill Gates (I can't even name the person who first built a motherboard or the first person to write software), and in 400 years there will definitely be so many actors to have lived and died that Tom Cruise won't be more than just a trivia answer and one-line mention in an online tome of entertainment history, like "Tom Cruise was a famous actor in the 1900s and early 2000s," and people will think that he lived in 1940 and died in 2010 or something similar. You think schools will teach "Steve Jobs invented the iPod in year 2001 or "Mark Zuckerberg invented Facebook in 2004" or "The Kardashians were a TV show in the 2010s" when there are 400 years of history to teach on top of another few hundred years of world history before that (American Revolution, World War I and II, Renaissance, Industrial Revolution, etc.)? Nope. We are all very lucky to be living on pretty much the razor's edge of modernity -- just "old" enough to enjoy technology, but just "young" enough so that we're not inundated with "too much content," as in, there aren't literally 300,000 studio-signed bands to go through and listen -- there are only about 50-60 years worth of music to sift through, and we have dedicated fans who can help you with recommendations. We are "young" enough to be able to differentiate the difference in the sound of the music of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and so on. Imagine being in 2400 and trying to figure out what music sounded like in the 2240s and the 2380s and the 2130s etc -- there would be just TOO MUCH CONTENT. Same goes with TV. Even if there is ONE BREAKING BAD-LEVEL TV SHOW PER DECADE, that's 240 shows on the level of Breaking Bad, and you couldn't even figure out where to start. I'm not even sure right now that there are 240 shows that exist that have more than one season, good or bad. But yeah, that's my long way of saying that in 400 years, everything in our lives now will have ZERO relevance and people will have absolutely NO idea what life is like right now. TL;DR -- In 400 years, the Kardashians will likely be literally unknowns, and even the most well-known people will be likely unknowns, even the Steve Jobs and Michael Jordans and Mark Zuckerbergs and Tom Cruises. We are lucky to be on the razor's edge of modernity, where we aren't so "old" that we have hundreds of years of pop culture but aren't too "young" that we have no pop culture (like being in the early 1900s with nothing but radios). In 400 years, ALL OF US WILL NOT MATTER. No, not high. Just went on a tangent that spun into an existential crisis of sorts.
