Yer man that invented cheese string.

And those rascals Obama and Osama:rolleyes:

Im going to go for Angela Merkel, for establishing the Third Reich in europe,
Osama bin Laden for starting the rise of Islam in America, making it a muslim state within 300 years,
yer man from China, for the colonisation of Africa,
and Stephen Hawking, for being the first human conscience to be sucessfully transported onto computer, now he controls the internet, and everything we see, hear, think and do, he is God...

To be able to post on boards.ie and claim never to have heard of someone who's generally considered to be the best player at the biggest sport in the world is very hard to believe mainly because i've never meet such a person. I believe its far more likely that you actually have heard of messi but say you havn't, why you do this, I can only guess that it's some kinda attempt at standing out or being cool.
Why do you do this?

Whoa, easy tigers. I've never heard of either of those people (I don't follow football) and frankly I doubt I am alone. Not everyone has the same preferences, values etc, and there will be some people who are known by many, unknown by others.

Hate to say it, but i think Steve Jobs maybe an iconic figure in the future especially seen Apple will probably end up like some sci-fi film "Corporation" ruling the world.
Nobody from sports or TV will be remembered, but history in the future will have to be very selective as so much information will be available.

More realistically, I would say no one at all.

Thinking back 1000 years (or greater) I think everyone here could name someone. My first thought was Julius Caesar.

I don't like the argument that in the past 100 years, humans have become recordable. The important one's were always recorded, be it in paintings or stories. All that technology has done has made it easier for the unimportant people to record themselves.

If America is still around then, Barack Obama will be a quiz question answer.

In regards pop culture, I think just two have the possibility - Elvis and Marilyn Monroe, purely because they are on so many bloody things. Who knows, Andy Warhol's picture of Marilyn Monroe could be the Mona Lisa of the future.

If I have no interest in his art I won't hear about him. If you have no interest in sport you will hear about Messi. That is the difference.

Stop starting a soccer fight. Bipoler Joe has already mentioned that he has heard of him. Messi will only be famous in 1000 years time if he wins at least one World Cup and 8 Champions Leagues. Until then, Steve Redgrave and Michael Phelps have a greater chance of being remembered (or at least until their feats are broken)

Father Damo

Trappatoni, if all goes well we will be worse than the English, probably some massive gig in the Phoenix Park in 2012 to commerate our sole tite :pac:

Jesus Wept

Andy Carroll.

speedboatchase

Michael Jackson certainly will. Tough question actually...

Fussy Eater

Messi is just a poor man's Maradona...

Frankel

Richard Hillman

Thinking a sports person would be remembered in 1000 years is laughable. There will be thousands of superior athletes over the next 1000 years. Messi ffs, there will be people laughing at us in 20 years time for saying he is the greatest of all time. He is nowhere near as talented as the great <insert future star here>.


I'd go with Hitler. The technology innovators of our time may stand the test of time also. The Arab spring may also be a phenomenon remembered for a long time.

3012? I don't expect this race will make it to 2112 before we're all enslaved by great computers, run by high priests in their technological temples, which will run every aspect of our lives from cradle to grave. They'll take care of everything - the words we read, the songs we sing - we'll never need to wonder how or why. :cool:

Beefy78

In 3012 humans will know only that which our machine overlords teach us.

Ishmael

A handful of monarch's, political leaders and influential scientists may be remembered.

My money would be on

Queen Elizabeth 2
Barack Obama
Stephen Hawking

Maybe Peter Higgs if his particle turns out to exist.

I would be surprised if Messi is remembered by more than a handful of Soccer enthusiasts after 50 years have passed. He is an exceptional player, but i don't think he is any more exceptional than Pele or Maradona were in their day and their popularity has declined significantly in last few decades.

JohnMarston

If there's any justice, Eduard Khil, the trolololol song guy, will be immortalised

The Master.

when the muslims take over all record of any western culture will be burned destroyed aside from Gary Glitter and maybe that guy from Hollyoaks who murdered all the young ones.

The Famous of to-day will go the way of famous people of the past who also had great fame .Who want's to read Shakespeare these day's ???? "We're 'doin' Shakespeare " one young student said . It's amazing how quickly Icons fade into the shadows only kept in the public eye by a business aspect .The Publishing Houses have a life support system for them and pump money into the Corpse's from time to time . Only older people listen to sinatra and others from those decades .Bono's tagged to macca to help keep him going i don't know what macca was doing with him in the first place .

Julius Caesar? Don't think he was around by 1012.

Just discovered that the rebellion that led to the Battle of Clontarf began in 1012. From that period, the name of Brian Boru is still remembered. Maybe in 1000 years time people will be drinking an ale named after Joe Duffy or Roy Keane or something.

That recording issue disturbs me too. Imagine if one of your descendants is researching family history for school or the future equivalent of "Who do you think you are?" It's quite possible they will be able to figure out what names you posted under in online forums such as this. Creepy.

goose2005

From 1,000 years ago (or so) there's Alhazen, Avicenna, Brian Boru, Canute, El Cid, Guido of Arezzo, William the Conqueror, Macbeth, Peter the Hermit.

Queen Elizabeth 2?

Is she about to overhaul next generation nuclear technology or something? She has certainly been an institution in herself, but given her actual importance I'd say she's going to be about 50 times less important than Harold II from the 11th century.

The idea is she may become the longest reigning monarch, whether that stat lasts 1000 years or not. Barrack is first black president. I don't think the UK or US will survive 1000 years.

Plazaman

Brian Cowen will be the subject of conversation in that year but only because his great great great great grandson Terilligan Cowen will be there to hand over the last repayment of our bailout thus reinstating New Germany to it's former name, Ireland.

Incidentally Terilligan will also feature on the Late Late Show that evening with original host Gay Byrne being asked to step in again to present.

Doesn't really matter if the country survives or not. We still remembers Emperors of the Roman Empire and that doesn't exist anymore

I noticed that, but honestly didn't think anyone would bother to state such a bleeding obvious point as you were making, so I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt by ignoring the "or greater". Duh yourself.

Yes if you're not long out of collage or you like history .'Mostly forgotten otherwise within a few years and replaced by newer useless information as most history is .

Obama has a good chance, but I think he'll be eclipsed by the first non biracial black person in significance over time.

Race won't matter in 1000 years. Aliens will come to earth just like in the tv series V. It will be human vs alien.
