One Hundred Years Ago

Some things will stand the test of time. Today's blog entry will discuss the items that will be around one hundred years later. Ten things that can be found 100 years later:

1- coins
2- buildings
3- people (George Burns type centurians)
4- books
5- grave stones
6- paintings and sculptures
7- trees (redwoods)
8- time capsules
9- pottery
10- city dumps (sadly)

Many of the things we use daily (cars, electronics, televisions, clothing, etc) will be gone in one hundred years. Eight track tapes from the 1970s have been replaced for nearly 30 years. When will today's computers, i-pods, radios, autos be replaced? Where will they go? What will transportation look like in 100 years?

The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan was begun by Henry Ford himself as a place for technology and machinery to be displayed in the hopes of inspiring generations of future inventors. He believed that innovation can be gleaned by looking into the tools and machinery of the past.

That's just my two cents.
