i wonder if, 2000 years from now, people will tour Pittsburgh and look with such wonder on our civilization's ruins; i wonder if we will leave anything that they can still use.

It's hard to say. I've decided that at least four things will exist long after our civilization is gone: cockroaches, pigeons, McDonald's, and KFC. Perhaps those things will be exotic to future archaeologists.
