In one of the biggest publicity stunts of recent times, internet leader Yahoo plans to beam a digitized time capsule into space using a laser beam. Yahoo will mark the October 25 event by projecting selected content of the capsule onto the side of Mexico's most famous pyramid in a global webcast.
Yahoo claims that it will be launching the
world’s largest time capsule in history and project portions of it onto
Teotihuacan, the 216 foot tall Pyramid of of the Sun outside Mexico
City.
Yahoo and Yahoo Telemundo want people from around the world to submit
content documenting life in 2006, for consideration to be included in
the capsule, inclduing photos, stories, thoughts, ideas, poems, home
movies and art. Submissions can be made at timecapsule.yahoo.com or
http://www.yahootelemundo.com.
"Wherever people use Yahoo! – from Mexico, Germany or China to the U.S.
– we want them to represent their culture and show us what’s important
to them by participating in this historic Internet time capsule event.
It will be fascinating to see what people submit as their part of this
2006 snapshot, which will be shared with generations to come,” said
Jerry Yang, co-founder and Chief Yahoo.
The time capsule content will be saved onto a digital archive and
sealed, to be opened at Yahoo! corporate headquarters in Sunnyvale,
Calif. on the company’s 25th anniversary in the year 2020. Copies of
the content will also be presented to Smithsonian Folkways Recordings
archives in Washington, DC as well as to The National Institute of
Anthropology and History in Mexico City.
