Time in a Bottle

Wow, this is a good question. I'm not sure what I would put. Maybe I would put some photos to show what hair styles and clothing looked like in this time. CD or DVD's would be good to show the kind of music and movies we had. I think a newspaper would be good also to show what is in the news. All of those you mentioned would be great ideas to put in the time capsule. I never really thought about this before. Good question.

I would put in some newspaper clippings about people doing good things. In our paper just the past month there were three purses returned when found in carts and stuff, a wallet returned (all were intact), a dog rescued from the street, a cat rescued from the middle of the freeway, a family received an anonymous box of food after the power went back on, etc. This is a good town and a good country and I would like people in the future to know about what great people we have.

That would be a awesome idea to do. I am thinking to do this with my little 7 year old sister. She would love to do this. I would put in a few CD's that have pictures of us all but I fear the CD's would get ruined by the cold dampness of the ground. I would put in our favorite music,a few books we liked to read and all kinds of stuff about us our likes and dislikes a journal and when it was time to open if we remember where we buried it by that time, it would be cool to know what we were like and for my little sister to say oh my I was like that..it is a fabulous idea.

I would put a diary in it, to show what life was like in the time it was written. I think I would put a letter in it too, something that spoke to the person who found it and told them a bit about me and my family and maybe a couple of photos too. I would put some of my knitting it and a few pairs of needles too. It would be interesting to actually do this, I just wish that I could see who found it and how long after they found it. Knowing my luck someone would find it just a couple of years later!!

Ldyjarhead, Semper Fi! Uh, I'm not meaning to sound silly but, I'd find me a nice smooth stone and carve a SMILY FACE into it! That way someone might realize that man-kind was here before and to smile through all the hard times every generation of man will face.

I would probably put a newspaper, a photo, and a cd. That way I owuld have something of what was going on in the world, the kind of music that was popular, and the way we were then. Have a great day.

id better put a floppy disk with the note.. the first removalbe magnetic storage device, 1.44mb the world once moved on this heheh..maybe the one who finds it may laugh...today, after a couple of decades of invention, the storage is goin in TeraBytes...who knows they would be able to recognise what byte is..

I think it would be pictures of my family... and with descriptions and important dates at the back... i would also put in a couple of news papers... yearbooks... and some magazines... just to give the future people a bird's eye view of what the past was like...

I think photographs and a small journal would be a good idea because they would be personal just to my family. Other things (technology, etc.) would be documented elsewhere (assuming museums still existed and the world hadn't been blown to bits).

If I was given a chance to put in something in that capsule, I would put my family photographs. This would be really cute and emotional to find that over the time. I guess with all the options available I would choose the photographs.

I would put pic. of the family and a letter. And maybe a few other things. Would have to put a can pf spam in it for sure.LOL YOur friend onlydia

That's a great question; I can remember doing something like this when I was in grade school, our class put together some items and we buried it here in town where at the moment escapes my wee brain; LOL! I think I'd put in a current newspaper or several maybe a weeks worth, some family photo's; maybe some of my favorite magazines, to sorta show what all is going on at the time; but this is a great topic, and should be interesting to see what sort of answers you get...

if i do ,i think maybe i would put the wonderful memory recorded in my DV in the time capsule,it is the most precious for me,i want it to last to the generations .it will also be a wonderful gift for them ,too.i am sure the future people will love it .

I would put words i have written explaing how life was to me and what it meant. I would also put a song i love, Goodbye's, the saddest word bye Celine Dion.

It makes since to put photographs, newspapers, forms of music and even cloths in a time bottle. These are things that constantly change and would indicate the age and era that the time capsule is from. But I do not think I would add something like a personal diary. That is just to personal.

I'd put a photo of myself. Its amazing how people change with time and you forget what you looked like years ago. I'd also put photos of people I know. I've seen some photos of people from way back and it says a lot to see the differences.

I guess I'd put some pictures on a CD and take some of my favorite music and put it on a separate CD too. I'd probably write a letter about my life and put it in a envelope and mark it "Open immediately, you just might learn something from me".

good day... I would invaluable things like photos, diary, commemorative coins, memorabilia and the likes. I would just wonder what would it look like 50 years from now. A memory kept and then reminisce after a very long time and for sure it would look like something from the past.

Hi Ldyjarhead, I would put my family photos a diary a neswpapers a book and vdideo tapes and they will have to work out how to play it as their tecks will be far too advance. Tamara

Maybe I'll put some magazines and newspaper too. Besides that I might include DVDs of movies that were shown during that era. Maybe a personal thing I could include is a CD of my blog entries and maybe some videos of my performances.
