If longevity come soon enough, than our contemporaries will be able to live extremely long lives.

However, if there is no modification to human memories, than the people that we remember today will continue to fade away into the distance.

The current generations that receive the longevity gift, will be able to make bigger imprint on an ever large scale as they age, provided that our brains are constantly learning and enhanced by ever more sophisticated cybernetic implants. To that extent, the lives of past people will surely be obscured out by the first generation of almost immortal human beings.
