Nah, everything will be so well documented regarding modern life nowadays that there's not much that won't be accessible by a quick Google search available well into the future.

They'll probably be able to search the model number up and find it's instruction manual.

You are assuming quite a bit of continuity in our civilization for the next 1000 years.

Not saying you're necessarily wrong, but there's a lot of ways that might not be correct.

Exactly. Human society throughout the ages always seems to go through societal high and low points, with your occasional societal collapse (for example , the dark ages.) Had it not been for Arabs building a library in Spain, the renaissance likely would've come much later. When we face our next societal collapse, we should hope someone builds another library of sorts, or we may be going the way of the Indus river civilization.

I don’t know about that future. Ever read “A Canticle for Leibowitz”?

True. I also thought that they'll just see it as a very old version of tan tech.
