Oh, and i got to thining about some of the other points brought up, about doing good with your life and leaving a legacy and such.
We are looking at that from our current knowledge. We praise the guys who invented the lightbulb and penicillin because we grew up with them, only knowing life with them. IF they were never invented, we wouldnt know any better, and so we wouldnt miss them. We can say how great penicillin and the art of Salvador Dali is now, and say how life would suck without penicillin NOW, because we can look back and see how crappy it was before. The Mayans and Egyptians and all those folks, they might have had it hard, but they dealt with it and lived their lives. Who knows what will be invented 100 years from now and afterwards everyone will think "how did they get along without this modern convienience", but right now, we think life is good and we are content.
So, if nothing new happend, it still just wouldn´t matter.
