But what about that exponential trajectory the technological advancements are on?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-22022634682312398232009-06-18T15:10:04.318+02:002009-06-18T15:10:04.318+02:00I don't think 50 years is long enough for a ti...I don't think 50 years is long enough for a time capsule. With only 50 years there really is plenty of living memory sources to describe the events of the day. 1959? My dad was a kid and had some metal toys like those probably included. He can tell me all about them. But if this were from say 1909, there would be a lot more treasure of significant historical value to sift through.<br /><br />I think I mentioned here before that our village buried one in 1987 during the town's Centennial with the idea that it would be opened at our bicentennial in 2087. I will not be around to watch but I hope I have grandchildren that are there.FatWhiteManhttp://www.fatwhiteman.comnoreply@blogger.com
