"But ... Emacs will still be there, waiting. It will be there when the icecaps melt and the cities drown, when humanity destroys itself in fire and zombies, when the roaches finally achieve sentience, take over, and begin using computers themselves - at which point its various Ctrl-Meta key-chords will seem not merely satisfyingly ergonomic for the typical arthropod, but also direct evidence for the universe's Intelligent Design by some six-legged, multi-jointed God." Kieran Healy
Hilarious and insightful! Personally, I think it will be some form of octopus that inherits the earth, but tellingly a mutated version of the last line will still apply.
