How will 2004 be viewed in the year 2104?

I've been thinking about the larger picture, and how we're living in what will be called the "birth of the computer age". Think about it. 50 years ago we didnt have color TV's, CDROMs, Cell Phones, Personal Computers, Laptops, Sattalite Radio, Wireless Networking, Digital Cameras, and Hand Held Video cameras. And imagine that I hold a PDA the size of my wallet with more processing power than the fastest computer available 10 years ago. I can carry with me a memory stick the thickness of a quater that holds more disk space than the largest hard drive publicly available 10 years ago (and it was about the size of shoebox). Computers in cars, wireless networks used in foodstores to code the prices onto products, not to mention the wireless video phones they're already using oversea's in China and Japan (FCC wont allow US companies to use the higher radio frequencies becuase they're needed for "military use, to protect our country").

Anyways, I donno why I started babbling about all this. Just something I've been thinking about lately. About how kids my age, 100 or 150 years from now, will look back at the year 2004 and what they'll read about it in their history books; I mean online history courses, lol.
