I'm watching Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and wonder about the premise of even being able to communicate in the same language with someone who lived so long ago without some sort of frame of reference? You would expect that someone who lived 500yrs in the future would have an easier time than say someone 500yrs in the past because of the technological revolution- but there are no guarantees modern media will last 500yrs in the future let alone to be able to play it back.

Take for example Middle-English (about 600yrs ago). Its barely decipherable today. Shakespeare (~400 or so) much more.
I like that webpage because they really discuss the changes in English around that time period.
Wonder what people think about this?
