What Items Would You Include In A 25 Year Time Capsule?

The Years Include 1983 - 2008

The last 25 years have brought us many breakthroughs in technology, medicine, science, the ways in which we conduct business and a host of items and ideas to include in our Time Capsule. What was it like to live in these times and what would you like people to know, 100 years from now, what we accomplished, read and changed during this time period? Let's keep this one down to 10 - 15 items to be tucked away. It doesn't matter if there are duplicates, as I'm certain there will be. You may also wish to keep to one subject, such as science or education in your time capsule. What matters is what YOU wish to tell the world in 100 years about our world from 1983-2008.

Great list, including An Inconvenient Truth is a great idea!

Side: evidence that we expected global warming

Then we should also include videos of all the people that said it was just a natural cycle of the planet (a.k.a. most republicans) so people know who was right.

Republican08, that's a very nice list indeed...can you add some things in the time frame I've indicated...1983-2008? If not, that's OK...maybe you just can't think of much in those years.
