What would you choose to put inside a time capsule for the next generation?

I'm not too serious tonight, so my answer is a dingbat which is the little plastic thingy that goes in the center of a 45 record to keep it on the spindle.

I would also include a classic pull-off soda tab.

I'd put in a couple of electrical items, so that they could see how funny and primitive we are! :wah:

I'd also put in a couple of legal updates so that people could see what we felt was 'right' and how human rights have developed.

Finally, some of my own art work and possibly a family tree to date, so that they could get in touch with my future family....

My husband & I made a time capsule in 1999.

We put in a TV Guide - a picture of us - and I don't know what else. We still have it closed up.

Jarts would be a good one. In the future they will think they were some form of ancient weapons.

Might be in trouble here, but is there room for our Prime Minister? Make sure you bury it deep so nobody will find it for a very long time! Afterthought! - what will the finders think it is, and what did it do?
