Dear Future,
I had actually thought about sending a message into the future in the way of a time capsule.
I would enclose a lot of pictures of the local area, several newspapers, maybe even digital movies (the only prob with that would be what would they watch them on? Surely everything we have now would be obsolete.)
I would also enclose in this my writings and rants about life in 2010 and thereabouts, the inane and boring stuff that we encounter daily.
My method for delivery of this capsule would be to seal it in a piece of 8" pvc pipe, and cap both ends... The entire thing being about 11" high. I would take that, and encase that in clear resin with a placard that reads "FROM 2010".
My plan then was to bury the thing under the house I currently live in. I figure it's got another 50 years of life left in it before it would be torn down. It's hard to speculate what might happen after that, it could be bulldozed & made into a parking lot or another foundation for a home could be built over THAT. It could potentially be a thousand years or better before it's ever disturbed, let alone found and realized for what it is.
It's just the overall coolness of it that attracted me to the idea. Could you imagine going out to plant some zinnias or something and unearthing a vessel that contained personal information from some dude that lived a thousand years ago? Sure, you can read about what life was like then - but first hand experiences from the eyes of the observer are pretty rare.
