What are the things that you think should be placed in a time capsule to represent our times to the future generations?

Computers singnify the evergrowing and rapid development of technology. The different books published by various authors reflect the different accomplishment of the present society. A map provides the visual idea of topography an dgeography of teh present day world. Pictures show important and memorable events in histroy. Computers, books, maps, historical pictures and the National flag symbolise the life of people in the present day.

Let's list the things which I think can be put in a time capsule.

Computers-

Almost every household of the 21st centuary possess a computer. This century, which is also known as the digital age have accumulated an advance way of communication through the development of computers and internet. A computer is a contraption made up of various kind of microchips connected together and powered by electricity.

The computer has mainly four parts : the monitor, CPU , keyboard and the mouse. The CPU acts as the brain of the computer and it is here where all the information is stored. The keyboard and the mouse provide information from the user to the computer. These are also used to programme different operations for the computer to do. The monitor is where the user can have a visual interaction to what is happening within the computer. A computer is very advantageous in minimizing the time for a paper job to be done. This is also used as a means of communication around the world. These are some of the positive effects this contraption ofers. Laziness and impatience are some of its negative effects. People sometims become too dependable on computers truly this is a very admirable object that could be brought into the future but every contrption made has a positive or negative effect depending upon it user.

Books-

Books are a major source of knowledge for the individual . Many books are published each day that focuses on different genres. Through books and deligence of writers much information was recorded. Books play a vital role for research especially for future historians. Through books people are able to connect themselves with the past. Books also represent man's evolvement intellectually. Surely books are a reliable source of information for future generations. This is defenitely a reasonable object that could be placed on a time capsule. Languages and speech may differ after hundreds of years but defenitely through the production of different books historians of the future will have enough evidance to know about the life in our present generation.

Maps -

Earth's geography and topography made it possible for living things to grow, population to increase, colonies to form and countris to establish. A map can show all these ideas. a map not only gives general diections but also gives information. Maps manifest the physical aspect of the Earth. The economy and strength of a nation is greatly influenced by its geography. A map could be a very useful object , a historian can use to understand more abut the geography of a particular time that affected the lifestyle of people.

Pictures-

Wars , famine, glry happiness and grief can all be expressed in a single picture. Pictures relate and vizualize the life of people in a society. Many events have happened over the past years. These incidents were probably drawn or pictured and relate to memorable incidents in history. These pictures may be important in general or important personally but one thing is sure; these are cherished for eternity. Truly " A picture says a thousand words" and a mere picture of a flag could express various ideas f a country or a state. Historical pictures are certainly very essential in understanding the history of various time periods.

Travelling in time might be too vague for a person in present but it would be too good to be prepared and think ahed if ever a time capsule will be invented.

Various books, computers, maps and memorabl epictures are what I believe wil be very useful for historians or even just for general people who will be living a hundred years from now.
