I just finished watching "Life After People", an amazing documentary courtesy of The History Channel. I must say, it certainly opened my eyes a little.
Even if all of the insights and explanations and prophecies are nothing but conjecture and educated guesswork, it is still amazing to think about what there will be left if we were to ever vanish from the planet. Cats becoming tyrants in the high rise decay of skyscrapers, zoo animals roaming the streets outside their former enclosures, seagulls and rats dying off by the tens of thousands due to the elimination of their primary food source (French fries, no less)...the list of changes goes on and on.
I did think it odd that those who made the show assumed that we would simply disappear from Earth, and not out of nuclear holocaust or disease. Still, it's kind of exciting to speculate and discuss the lives of those who come after us.
If anyone does.
