Yahoo! Time Capsule Lets You Preserve The Knick-knacks Of Your Silly Little Life
Filed under: Uncategorized
The Yahoo! Time Capsule has been launched. Quick, take digital photos of your unwashed socks and uncircumcised penis and blast them all to Yahoo! for that truly satisfying contribution to posterity.
For 30 days, from October 10 until November 8, Yahoo! users worldwide can contribute photos, writings, videos, audio – even drawings – to this electronic anthropology project. This is the first time that digital data will be gathered and preserved for historical purposes. In addition to submitting your own content, you can view, read, or hear the images, words, and sounds contributed by users from around the world. You can also comment on the content you and others have submitted – and engage in a digital conversation that is just as revealing and important as any of the content you’ll witness. And by November 8, you will have helped create a digital legacy of our times, a mosaic of revealing snapshots that will be sealed and entrusted to Smithsonian Folkways Recordings based in Washington D.C., officially taking its place in history.
