For example people used to believe that the earth was flat and that the sun revolved around the earth.
What things that we believe in do you think will be disproved in the future?

LOL!!!
Or maybe not.
But seriously, I think they'll resent us.
Celebrity worshipping, be it royals, actors or worse those celebs who I've never heard of who go on that celeb big brother show or that i'm a celeb get me outta here .... arghhh, why do we grovel so, why do we put others life's above our own?
You are right, we are doing this and future generations are bound to look back at how selfish we are collectively.
Unless by that time, they find and are using alternative energy sources. Then they will laugh at us for using and fighting over a black liquid that we had to dig for.
- our cult of celebrity
- our obsession with the new and shiny
- our complete shortsightedness on things like energy and civil rights
... of course when I say laugh, I probably mean despair.
I think they will have to
driving cars
internet
phones
Our stupidity in celebrity worship
How bland and unimaginative the music was.
How annoying the middle east was
facebook
they will be baffled that we ever showed so much repsect to people that wielded machine guns and shot and killed people they have never even met in ' theatres of war' started by their governments.
they will be baffled by the respect we as a society gave to military men of violence who drop bombs on 'targets' that cause the death of innocent people. Some of us call them heroes i believe
thats only if future man wakes up;)
There's no such thing as god and the fact that people will kill each other for their god makes no sense to me.
Future generations won't find our fashions nearly as amusing as we will in just a few years.
Chav "style".
Music from this era.
Fashions
Entertainment preferences
Standard of medical treatment
Lack of speed/reliability of transport
Primitive methods of communication
Primitive weaponry
etc
I think the length of time we're discussing is important.
2022
Nothing much will change, but people will baulk at the paultry computer speeds (processors, memory, internet) in 2012. They'll also find it amazing that houses needed loads of shelves to store their films, games, books when a small, compact hard drive will suffice. People will still worship false idols. Governments will continue to balls things up.
2032
People will start to curse the Governments from 2012 for doing very little to prevent the use of fossil fuels. They'll be blamed for high fuel taxes as real alternatives to fossil fuels start to blossom. People will still worship false idols. Governments will continue to balls things up.
2042
People will wonder what all the enery crisis was about - they'll be amazed at how those in 2012 survived with just oil, coal and gas. I mean, most homes has solar-panels now. People will still worship false idols. Governments will continue to balls things up.

We become history. We become part of the curriculum. People will study us. Not much amusement will be had from it. People will research us and will write dissertations on us. Our past becomes trivial pub quiz questions like "Which film was the last to be released on Blu-ray?" and "Which year was The Fossil Fuel Alliance" formed?
Oh, and people will still worship false idols. Governments will still continue to balls things up.
Celebrity worship
Reality TV
Overreaction to Jeremy Clarkson
Political correctness
Having clothes that needed ironing.
