12-13
You have been put in charge of building a time capsule. The capsule will be opened 500 years from now. What items are you going to place within this capsule? Think about such things as: what items are important to us? how do we communicate? who are our leaders/idols? what do you want the future to know about us? etc.

Well, I would put a cell phone, laptop, and ipod because those are the main technologies that we use. I would also put in magazines and newspapers about all of the important things that have happened. I would have children draw pictures and write stories about what they hope the future is like and put them in the capsule as well. I would put well known books in too!
ReplyDeleteI would put in some of our technology. I would put in some taped news shows and newspapers and stuff.That would show the future some events happening today. I would put in some pictures of how some national monuments look today because they probably will be very different in the future. I would put in some records of new scientific breakthroughs so they know what intelligence level we are at today.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Maegan that some of our handheld electronics would be great to put in there, but we would need a way to keep them charged so that they could use them. Magazines and pictures of our life would be very important as well. I would also put in some of our food and our amazing music. We should also talk about what life is like.
ReplyDeleteThere should be pictures of our idols and of the infulencial people in our lives today. I also think there should be cell phones, televisions, DVD players, iPods, and all other types of technology we have. I think the future needs to know about all the technology we have today so they could expand on what we have now. Also, they should know about all of the infuential people and books and things like that. The future will need to know about all of the things that go on in our world today, good and bad.
ReplyDeleteBesides technology, I would include some of culture in general. I would put in food descriptions and recipes, and holiday traditions. I would include some newspapers explaining what little stuff was happening in the world. I would also put in some clothing and explain the styles and trends that were happening at the time.
ReplyDeleteIf I was going to make a time capsule, I would include modern magazines such as popular science magazines. Things such as cell phones and our "latest" computers should also be included, because the appearance of these items today may look completely foreign to people 500 years from now. Various forms of our favorite music would also be a good idea to include in a capsule.
ReplyDeleteI would put a cell phone, articles of clothing, a scrapbook of what the town looks like then, and a Sunday paper with a lot of ads in it. I would leave the rest of the stuff up to the people who are helping with it to put something they want in there. I think putting a cell phone would do a lot of good by showing how much technology would be advanced in 500 years. Clothing would obviously show what are fashion is like. A scrap book would be the most interesting because when they would open the time capsule they could physically see how much the town and area around had changed. A newspaper is kind of the same concept, but it would also show how "cheap" things are in our time in the ads and also show what news was "new" to us as well. Leaving the rest of the items up to the people of the city would be really special to them. Each person could leave something sentiment behind and feel like they are still part of the town 500 years from now.
ReplyDeleteI am currently too lazy to think about this subject, so I'll just say what everyone else says. Technology, and just whatever to show how our life was during this time period and so forth.
ReplyDeleteI would put the newest generation of every technology we have right now in the capsule. I would also put in pictures of what our world looks like right now and of the people in it. I would want the people of the future to know what we are like now so maybe they will be better than we are, not saying that we are bad though. I would probably put food in there too just because I want to.
ReplyDeleteIt would depend on the purpose of the time capusule. If it was to make sure that future civilizations learned about us accurately, I would include maps of present day boundaries, the most current science books, and some computers, cell phones, etc. I would also include copies of popular magazines (people, TIME, etc.) and some of the works of literature that are most important to our society. If there was room, I would include an automobile.
ReplyDeleteI would put a cell phone and computers in this time capsule because those are become are new way of communicating. I would include some cd's of popular artists. I would most deferentially have to add a picture of Channing Tatum. Then I would add some popular movies, magazines, and books.
ReplyDeleteI would put a cell phone, tv, and a laptop just incase they lose all technology. I would place some lyrics of my favorite songs in there. Then I would include a history of America's past. Plus I would put pictures of me and my family so they could invision me while I show them the past. Maybe the future would even write a book about me. Who knows? :)
ReplyDeleteThe things that I would put in the time capsule would be my cell phone, Ipod, and my computer. They could look at those things and see what we did on earth today. It would be much different than the way they do things then. I would leave behind my photo albums and some of our favorite movies.
ReplyDeleteWell, like everyone said, technology of course. I think I'd put Hayden in there so then he couldn't make fun of me anymore. I'd put a video of Chris farely in there too so everyone can know what a beast he was! And I'd put an autograph of Aaron rodgers in there too because it will be worth a lot of money then.
ReplyDeleteI'd put myself in there so I can see what its like 500 years from now. Thats all.
ReplyDeleteI'd put Ke$ha in the capsule. I'd also put an iPhone in there, a Facebook in there, and a sandwich for later.
