Time Capsule History

Imagine an item that can bring the past into the future? Yes, that's right, this year, our grade 8 class is going to make a time capsule! A time capsule is an item where a historic cache of goods are sealed in a box to be opened in the future giving great help to future historians and archeologists. We are going to add three items to our time capsule, a journal entry from each student, a class yearbook, and an iPhone. These items are what the future will be missing.

The time capsule, an idea made into reality by humans, designed to contain artifacts or key items of the present age to be eventually opened by people living a century later or longer. What is the entire purpose of the time capsule in the first place? It can deliver a message to the society existing in the subsequent era or give information on the unique events or conditions of the specific location for knowledge intentions. The time capsule can also bring fun in the process of learning. Things like compact discs and fancy gadgets would provide entertainment along with understanding. Some interesting objects that a time capsule could contain would be cultural clothes, books to provide the history and information of the place and people, and pictures of everyday life in the designated location.

It is the year 2325 my team of prominent archaeologist, and I was summoned to dig up a site that our colleagues have found. My team and I will unearth this hidden object time capsule. As my staff and I prepare to locate the time capsule, we are nervous about what we may unearth. As my team, I open the time capsule we find five items in the capsule which are President Kennedy’s Election, Voting Rights, Peace Sign, The Pill and Sesame Street. The 1960’s time era was an important part of history that remains relevant in 2325. Unearth this period is necessary so they we may teach generations to come about the 1960’s time era.

Information about the past will help better understand the future. If Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler learned about Alexander the Great’s failed conquest of Asia, then the world could be vastly different. France could stand as a high military power, and Germany could contain Nazis. Therefore, items placed inside a time capsule will provide help for those in the future learning about the past. With this in mind, the three most important items that rest in the time capsule should be an album on compact disk, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, and some newspaper cut outs of headlines.

As the turn of the golden age approaches, the human race will continue to develop advanced technology and modern ways of thinking. I don’t think nothing is further satisfying than to share a visual glance back in time. To observe what was considered advanced around those times. The objects from a time capsule represent pieces of someone’s life that have been collected together to reveal the final product. I have been chosen to contribute to a time capsule that would be locked away for 100 years; three items I would choose are, a blueprint of my house, a picture of me in my quincenera dress and an American flag. These items can serve as a visual and material presentation of what matters the greatest to me today.

A time capsule is a historic cache that contains goods and information to help future archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians. Usually, metal containers are used for the capsule so it can preserve everything inside of it and be available to study many decades later. In world history class, we each created a time capsule that represents a certain era. Some included the Atlantic Ocean Trade, the Colombian Exchange, and the Thirty Years War. My time capsule is mainly centered on Renaissance Literature.

A time capsule represents a culture in a bottle. And so, in order to create a relevant time capsule, this class must ask the question; “What three facets of a society clearly represent its culture?” Because archeology specializes in the deciphering of long-dead cultures, a look at archeology’s perspective is most beneficial in answering this question. A review of the archeological literature reveals three topics consistently dominating the conversation. The technology, belief system, and pastimes peculiar to a nation define its culture to observers viewing it from a future date. Therefore, a time capsule to be opened in the year 2115 must include an artifact specific to the area of innovation, a relic representative of America’s dominant religion and the main contender, and something to present a picture of popular entertainment.

Reflecting back on my years at Homer High School, I have been struck more than anything by the oddity of time. Isn’t it strange how the moments of our lives slide rapidly away into the shadows of the past? It seems like just yesterday that I struggled to open my locker in the Freshman Hallway for the first time, but it was today that I struggled to close it indefinitely. Albert Einstein said that time

of a building. When the time capsule is opened, there will be a ceremony and the whole community will look at the items. I was asked

A time capsule, a great way for future generations to learn about the past, contains valuable articles. This device may contain only three items. One hundred years from now, people will discover this hidden chest. The contents of this time capsule might shock the discoverers. Just as people wonder what the future is like, the future generations might wonder what the past was like. A person could place an old cellphone, fire arm, or clothing for example into this container.

The continuous struggle to break ground on new revolutionary creative practices has led artists down unsuspecting paths, often subject to great controversy. Bioart has become a recent trend in contemporary art circles; in collaboration with biologists, anthropologists etc it appropriates organic mechanisms as a medium for art. This emerging field, provocative and inspiring, exposes technical, procedural and ethical issues. Art has become an impetus to the nature – culture dichotomy and this has never been as evident as it is today. Human and Earth systems have collided and fused, as a result, a separation of the two is near impossible. Eduardo Kac, amongst others such as Stelarc or Orlan, is a kind of flagship of this new epoch of the Anthropocene.

Change has been occurring at surprising and alarming rates over the last four decades, and by the time one manages to catch up on a fad, another one has become much more popular. It seems as if everything changes and shifts faster than ever before, and you may defenselessly become lost and confused in such a world. There is, however, one phenomenon that has remained constant throughout the years: time. Time has always been the same and will always continue to be the same. It is hard to imagine that a notion that has existed for countless years and will continue to exist can be contained, but alas, it can. Trapped inside the cogs and metal of a watch, time ticks away, and everyone knows how to go about their day. The mobile clock that so many

In 100 years from now, things will not be the same. They will probably have more technology and better ways of doing things. Just think of how much has changed since 1990, just twenty eight years ago, things were much different. As times changes, things improve and get better. So imagine what cell phones will be like in fifty years or computers, or what kind of resources they can use. Imagine how useful google will be, people not even having to learn things, but look up anything and everything they need to know. The three things I picked for my time capsule is a cell phone, a juul, and a Make America Great Again hat.

People feel uncomfortable when the world changes, but if it is welcomed or not the world will always keep moving. Such as when the internet was invented people had to adapt to a different form of interaction and research via technology. That is why time capsules were made to hold tangible memories of the past before the change happened. For example old newspapers, movies, and letters can be stored in a time capsule. This makes it so Humans can get their hands on a little bit of history. The three most important objects to put in a time capsule is a book, a PS4, and a American football.

The science fiction novella, The Time Machine, written by H.G. Wells in 1895 is a warning to human society. The two kinds of people under Wells’s pen, the Eliot and the Morlocks, are the representatives in the social condition of the author’s life. Wells is using science fictional to predict the decline and extinction of human society after high development. Because human civilization is highly developed and achieving perfect at the same time, Wells is warning that energy, passion and creativity of human being will be degenerated, along with the loss of conscience, moral decay, social disintegration and the loss of civilization. The higher development of science and technology, the greater the existential crisis that the human beings face.
