If you were an archaeologist two hundred years in the future from now, what object would you unearth?
probably an Ipod.
That'd be pretty cool. Fully charged, loaded with all songs of all genres.
though It'd probably look like a huge antique radio by then.
tell me about yours
Something plastic, no doubt, or possibly a Budweiser bottle. Hell, I keep digging those things up now, and it’s only been a year or two. What would I want to dig up? Someone’s diary, or a stack of newspapers. I hear that, in certain situations, newspaper actually lasts quite a long time underground, and it’d be truly awesome to have that link to the past.
An iPod wouldn’t work, and, even if it did, the batteries’d be dead. Unlikely that, in two hundred years, we’d have the tools, materials, or compatible computer programs to get any information off of one. In fact, data storage is a huge problem nowadays. There are things on certain obsolete storage devices that we can’t access anymore. I mean, who has an 8 track player, right? Older storage methods are really bulky, but modern ones become obsolete way too quickly. Vista’s already given me problems with backwards compatibility; two hundred more years of technological advancement will render my current Word files completely unreadable, even if, by some miracle, my computer survives.
Archaeologists these days unearth artifacts from a "forgotten age" Buildings and monuments that have been devoured by the sands of time. Now a days the world is alot better at keeping up with their work. i doubt that people from the future would learn anything new from unearthing this century.
Nothing 200 years ain’t shit we will have all historical records of this time on data or computers.
