Consider the portion of last month's Techabration, when those running the mango-colored museum dedicated a Tech time capsule. But this one is not stuffed with today's newspaper, a Mark McGwire baseball card, an MP3 player and an iMac. They are sealed in a glass cylinder on display in the museum lobby, where they will sit as a reminder to visitors that there were those who came before. Well, that's the thing about technology. It changes awfully fast.
Some contributors see even more dramatic changes ahead.
Life will be lived only over the Internet. Men and women will not meet face to face. They'll flirt, date and have sex online. San Jose eighth-grader Shelly Mussett was a bit more optimistic, though she wondered whether changes would be as dramatic as some futurists predict. I'm throwing in with the husband of 13 years, who wrote more of a prayer than a prediction for his wife and daughters.
