If the future is utopian then they will look back and say that the end of the cold war and beginning of the age of information was the beginning of a golden age of technological advancement. Where, for the first time, we sought to fundamentally understand the world around us and succeeded. If the future is utopian then they may look back at our present and say that this is the period of time where we began to become humanist rather than purely nationalist.
If something awful (hah) happens and the future becomes dystopian one then in 1000 years we will probably be forgotten.
