Who are we sending this to anyway? Emotionally I think it is for human consumption. It makes sense to us, as humans. It may not make sense to another species. They may find lasers offensive. Perhaps like humans, they still have vestigal violent trends... WE DONT KNOW!!! So let's keep that pointless and possibly dangerous time capsule at home, where we might actually get to enjoy it as something more that a headline grabbing PR stunt from a disgusting mega-corporation. BTW... Do we really want aliens to know about our addiction to blogging? Kind of makes us look lame at best. This may be a very ill advised action. Who are we sending this to anyway?

Time capsules are irrelevent since they are edited and not sent to anybody in particular. For a better feel of what life was like in the 50's, you are better off wathcing I love Lucy. For a time capsule to have value, you require a defined contributor and a defined recipient with something of value to share. Parents are a perfect example. This has led me to create www.electronictimecapsule.com For parents to share today what they can't since their kids are too young to understand. This is a valuable time capsule. This being said, I think Yahoo did a great job at creating this time capsule. The visuals are great... I really like it.. but it lacks value like any other large scale time capsule. Hi,
