Good question.

One answer would be focusing on basic human activities. People will still probably be eating and traveling in 500 years.

Another would be to figure out and/or develop the “temple” of whatever future belief system or religion one thinks will be necessary and popular in the future. And this could be a currently existing religion; Islam and Christianity will probably be around in some form or another for a long long time.

I mean, modern cloud computing centers are the new temples of current digital religion. And graphics cards are the new chalices.

Is… Snowden Jesus? And Tim Berners Lee Moses? Or perhaps Jobs was Moses, and Xerox PARC was the burning bush?

There is no similarity whatsoever. Temples are places that people flock to, computing centers are places kept secret.
