"...the great lock controversy of 1851..." That's so quaint. I wonder if "The Browser Wars", or something of its ilk, will have the same ring to it in 160 years.

oh absolutely, and I try to be as solemn as possible about it:

"I used to be a web developer during the Browser Wars, man ... A veteran, yes. I remember being happy when we could develop for IE7 compatibility ..."

(embellish with stories about getting up at 4am, walking barefoot in the snow, uphill both ways, etc. as you see fit)

Hah, that's funny. I often forget that we may be participating in some future historians most exciting discovery...
Agree. Think the late 1800's is most fascinating period in economic history.
