History Ahead of Time

         What are some things you would put in a time capsule to be opened up one, twenty, and/or fifty years from now that shows the person you are today?          

I think I would put in several old phones so that the people in fifty-years-time who open the time capsule can laugh at the old phones we used. It reminded me of the stories that I've told my children and my friend's children. Stories of when I was young, I didn't have a landline phone in the house for much of my childhood, let alone a mobile phone; they, of course, weren't invented. My daughter finds it strange that mobile phones were invented in her lifetime; she's only twenty-seven. Therefore, by putting a few phones in they can see how they evolved.

I would also put in some family photographs along with some written history of the people in the photographs; who they are, a little about their lives, their schooling, and their jobs etc.

I would also put in some of my stories and poetry, just because!
