Archaeologists still study garbage heaps from tens of thousands of years ago to figure out things about past civilisations. So my guess is on no - people will study the digital garbage heaps of humanity as much as they study the... once-were- stinkier ones. |

Super Mario Bros. isn't a garbage heap though, it's more like a statue or a mosaic.
I was thinking more like will it end up like a forgotten pop song from 1890 or something like a Tchaikovsky song that's still played and appreciated (and not reliant on nostalgia for continued attention).
I have nostalgia for Super Mario Bros., and that's why I pay attention to it. It's getting old enough where we might be able to perceive effects independent from nostalgia (though I think there may now be a phenomenon of "nostalgia for other people's nostalgia" that may still make accurate perception difficult).
