I think that if people and books are still around then, which is assuming an awful lot, LOTR will still be popular. Critics have been saying ever since LOTR was published that it is just a faze and it will die out. Well guesse what? It is now stronger than ever. I agree that it will not be as popular as it is today, but it will be about as popular as it was before the movies came out. The themes and characters are timeless and universal. I think that the things that make LOTR popular in the first place will still be there in 3000 years. People will always be able to relate to war, technology, little people, mountains and the sea.
