Yea but a 1000 years?
[QUOTE=Stormcharger;40410739]Will it really last that long?[/QUOTE] I think worms or something like that will decompose it unless like the land levels get lower and it gets found before its 1000 year goal
I was meaning specifically his drawing lasting that long
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;40409003]link rot is a massive problem[/QUOTE] God bless archive.org
[QUOTE=farmatyr;40410223]When I was a child I participated in a time capsule. I drew a spacecraft and it was chosen. The capsule will be opened in 1000 years.[/QUOTE] No, it won't.
[QUOTE=farmatyr;40410223]When I was a child I participated in a time capsule. I drew a spacecraft and it was chosen. The capsule will be opened in 1000 years.[/QUOTE] 1000 years? I don't think anyone would remember it. I also think that after 1000 years of the Earth just doing its thing it would probably end up buried under too much dirt to be found.
100 years later ur still a faget

It's so weird seeing how everything still looks brand new. Shit, that red book is a hundred years old and the corners are still sharp. And those messages saying stuff like "Greetings people of 2013" is even weirder. It's like they're talking to us from the past (They kinda are, though).

(afaik IRENE and laser turntables only work on discs) They should really only do it once, on the best equipment they can find and while recording it, those things must be really fragile.
[QUOTE=Uber|nooB;40409575]UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUSATRON 3000[/QUOTE] i read that as bustatron i think that's all that needs to be said
I hope they find mine full of dragon dildos
Fun fact Every human that was alive at any point when that was buried is probably dead by now
[T]http://i.imgur.com/0x2EDvY.jpg[/T] I think I like this picture the best. Imagine getting a message left for you from your ancestors 100 years prior. [QUOTE=phygon;40415093]Fun fact Every human that was alive at any point when that was buried is probably dead by now[/QUOTE] Considering that the oldest people living today were born in the late 1890s, I would say this isn't accurate. And I'm undecided as to the funness level of this "fact"

You can't recover anything from a hard drive that's lain around, even in perfect sanitary conditions for more than 70 years. It becomes corrupte due to magnetic breakdown. Same with CD's and most other optical media. The only real way of sending data through the ages is to have it physically written. Something like the voyager record or a tape, a VHS tape will outlast any hard drive. The best way to send data into the future however would probably be by using a laser to cut the data directly into a material and to include the tools to read it. HDDs and SDDs and discs also break down after being read much faster than tape, which is why google uses tape to store data that doesn't need to be accessed fast.
[QUOTE=lifehole;40408812]imagine timecapsules of today with terabytes of information on data storages buried deep within the ground to be discovered a hundred years from now with technology as alien as computers are to 1913's.[/QUOTE] Yes, they would hit the jackpot of porn underground.
There was a time capsule buried at my school set to be opened in 2100, put there for the Millennium celebrations. 87 years to go, d'y'think I'll be there to see it opened?
I wonder what kind of dress was in there. Also I'm amazed it didn't degrade at all.
Gabe puts Half Life 3 into a time capsule that will be opened 100 years from now.

that is truly awesome

Given a perfect environment, a CD can in fact last up to 100 years, but maintaining such an environment would be tricky.

People in the past had really good handwriting.
[QUOTE=RedStar;40410028]"and here is a silicon mold of a penis. obviously, this is how human penises used to look back in the year 2013" "ooh aah *cameras clicking*"[/QUOTE] "I can't believe they were so small back then."
[QUOTE=Billy2600;40416085]People in the past had really good handwriting.[/QUOTE] I'd say typing on a keyboard has dramatically worsened the quality of my handwriting because I only need to write things down by hand like once a week or something like that
I am amazed, intrigued, and awed at the completely mint condition of everything, and how the intended message from that time was preserved flawlessly. It is quite literally like looking through a unique window into the past.
