If I had to chose any one thing from the twenty-first century to send to future generations, I would pick the telephone/cell phone. The reason for this is because, telephone companies and makers are always updating the style and "apps" of the same types of phones. Exspecially now since we are a more modern country, we have to keep up with times. And has our country grows more and more into moderation, sooner or later, things we use now, will start taking on different shapes and forms. We always laugh at our parents when they sit there and try to use a cell phone now, when they sit there and try to send a text message to someone but it takes them a good two minutes just send "where are you." Well just think when we get older, what type of technology they will have out there when we have kids. Our kids will be laughing at us because it takes us so long to figure out the new technology.
Communication is a very isentiual aspect for our everyday lives, and companies that work in the department of communication, are always finding knew and instresting was to stay intouch with others. Now there is texting, camera's, email, and calling on cellphones; when there use to only be a house phone that didn't have caller id, and you had to turn the little spiny thing to dial a number. If our modernaly growing nation has already come up with the cell phones we use today, just think of what they could come up with in the future. There are many people who are technologically intelligent and who want to create the next "hit" in the the technoligic world. And then there are the people who will buy whatever the have to have item is.
So by putting a basic cell phone in the time capsule, like the Iphone, pherhaps, it can show the future what we had, compared to what they have. And when we sit here and make fun of all the stuff our parents and grandparents had growing up, sooner or later the same thing will happen to us. Even if we think the Iphone or Ipad is the coolest thing to have, in the future it may not even be near has cool, as what is yet to come.
