We watched the TNG episode "Masks" as it dealt with the subject of material culture and how even when a civilization is gone, the things made by it are left behind.
I saw that this episode reflects our own cultures because our possessions can help us discover new things about ourselves. The show also explores our desire to explore and change. Many times what we hold dear are more symbolic in nature. Many times shapes and objects transcend cultural bounders and show a baseline that all of are cultures have.
When I thing about our modern day i wonder what will be left behind from our era. Sadly I think our trash and electronic garbage , nesdead of a wonderfull archive of our lives and valuves will be all that remains of us.
I hope we can change that.
