Cyber Anthropology

Soon, grad students will be turning to a new field of study called "cyberanthropology." Rather than dig through the rusting metal of a municipal dump, anthropologists of the future will be able to confine their work to their computers. Financial records, marketing data, political mailing lists, even Quicken backup disks - all of it will provide fodder for scholarly articles in 3109, as researchers try to understand what life was like in the 20th century.
