We've seen it in the movies

I was speaking to my brother the other day. We lead very different lives. He’s been living in southern California for the last 20 years. (Seeing it in writing and thinking about it suddenly makes me feel old.) We were talking about life and people’s perception of lifestyles. If our civilisation were to come to an abrupt end, in centuries to come what would people (or aliens from other worlds) make of our existence – especially if the information they were analysing was film footage. Films such as Spiderman, Lara Croft, The Matrix – films with a lot of CGI and shot in front of blue screens. They would wonder what sort of powers and abilities we had. It would portray a very distorted view of our existence.
