Not in 100 hundred years, by then they will be busy hunting and fighting. But in 500 years, when they will have universities and history departments again, yes, our age will be an eternal source of amusement.
What will they call this age?

The age of plastic? Because of the traces we leave

The age of poison? Because of the large variety of noxious chemicals we put in so many of our products?

The selfish age? Because of all the dangerous waste we are leaving behind to satisfy our consumption needs

Perhaps the Age of Stupid. I am going with that. We live in the Age of Stupid
