Time Capsule

Five items I would include in a time capsule are:

1. A video of landscape
2. Latest technology
3. Ipod with latest music
4. Newspaper
5. Examples of our taste in fashion

If my community decided to store a time capsule the would be only opened a hundred years from now in the year 2116, one of the things I’d like to put in it would be a video of the landscape where it was buried and of the people that put their things in it. Having a video of the landscape would help show them how much the area around there has changed and what it used to be like. Also, They’d be able to see who the people were that put their belongings into this box and help create the history that is with the pieces.

Something else that I’d like to put into the time capsule is a phone or some type of our latest technology. This would show how much the technology has evolved and they would be able to try the device and compare it to what they have. It would also act as a piece of history that they could cherish and show to others. It would prove to them how much things have changed in time and how privileged they are to live in the latest technology.

A thing that I think would be a great object to put into the time capsule is an Ipod with a playlist of music on it. I think this would be a great idea because they would be able to have a taste of our history music wise. The lyrics in the songs would teach the people listening what we were feeling at the time and how things were in the world. They would be able to listen to the instruments we use and compare them to what they use and also, they might enjoy our music because a lot of people now listen to music that is around fifty years old.

Another thing that would be interesting to have in a time capsule is the latest newspaper. This shows the latest news and what is going on in our area. Also, it would show pictures of residents and landscapes, include the weather for the upcoming week, and discuss the issues we’re going through. I find it interesting just to go look at the newspapers from a couple years ago so I’d imagine they’d love going back into history and seeing what it was like. Compared to then, they would probably think the society we have today is very simple because they would have a lot of new issues but would have also solved a lot of the problems we would have today.

Fashion is a way we express ourselves. It shows what type of person we are and our personality. This would be a great item because fashion changes all the time and I think they’d enjoy seeing what we wore and how we wore it. Because it is a long time before they will open the box, the fashion might have returned back to style which would be very interesting. By then, they may have a lot softer fabrics or different ways to make their shirts and be mesmerized by the way we made them.


Dear people of the future,

My name is Emily and I was born in the month of September in 2000. I am writing you this letter on the day we put it in the ground which is April 27th 2016. My house is located past the Blackville school on the top of the hill. I have a mother and a father and three brothers. This size family is pretty typical for this area and time.

Today is like any day, we have a typical seven hour day at school with two breaks and five classes. We have a few extra curricular activities such as soccer, volleyball, basketball, drama, choir, badminton, and student council. Because most of our time here is with the snow, we don’t have a lot of summer sports that are played outside. Something in this community that has been happening for a couple years now is not being able to keep a salmon. Salmon are one of our only tourist attractions and one of the favorite things to do here and not being allowed to keep them arouses a lot of the residents. This particular fish was becoming harder to catch because of its low population so this is why they had to make keeping the fish against the law.

Time is changing fast so your hobbies and traditions are probably a lot different from mine. The temperature, scenery, and technology will all be so different from now (2016) and from my perspective, your world will probably be a lot more manageable than ours. Solve problems and make the world an even better place!
