More about the Future: MEME

First off, LEAVE a MESSAGE or take the POLL (below right)! We want to know where you are from, and who you are, and IF YOU ARE READING!?! Yoohoo! IS there anybody out there?!?




Secondly, as you have most likely already read below, we have been talking about the future, how it will affect us, and how it will affect the world around us. After making the list of how the world would change in 50 years, we decided to think about how things will change in half that time: what the world will be like in 25 years. We decided to put together a "Time Capsule," or a box filled with things that are relevant to life today, that should be opened on this date 25 years from now. The items in the box are also accompanied by a letter.

Dear future of 2032,
We are a group of students that is attending an English course in Macerata, Italy. We have been talking about the future, and we decided to put some things about today's world in a box for you.

Time Capsule from 28 September, 2007

What do you think we should add to the list? Do you think all of the stuff we mentioned is necessary? Make your own list (your own Time Capsule) and participate in our MEME!

I like your time capsule list. I think you should add a typical italian grocery list to the time capsule. Where will you bury your time capsule?
