You don't get both.

You want to be remembered? You'll have no control over what future technologies people have or use. Trying to impose conditions on our descendants is pointless, overbearing, and futile.

There are billions of us here. The future will be preoccupied with itself, mostly. It would be a rare treat to be remembered at all.

We're all ephemeral. Every picture, every memento -- everything will vanish within a few generations. Even our DNA gets washed out after about a dozen generations.

It's over in a geologic blink of an eye.
