I believe they will look back with interest. Imagine all the political graf, in developing countries. If you think about it, it is really one of the only forms of lasting pictorial story telling the youths have at their disposal.

Tagging is a pathetic pass time, yet I do see merit in "works of art" located in appropriate areas.
