Future people to get glimpse of past

This year my class is building a time capsule. A time capsule would tell people what life was like in the 2000s. Time capsules could be really small or really big. Most usually put pictures of everything, maybe some games, or some instruments. I am putting in a scrapbook because I want people in the future to see some of the things we played with and used.

First, I would put pictures of toys and electronics, so kids could see what we use to play with. I think it would be cool if people in the future could see what a board game looks like, a phone, or even an iPad. You never know if they would say if it looked cool or if it looked totally boring. Maybe a kid would try to recreate a game, but you never know.

Next, I would put pictures of houses in case they get smaller or bigger. Maybe, in the future everybody will have a mansion or everybody will have a really small house. Finally, I would add pictures of people. I would put pictures of people because you never know if humans will further evolve. Maybe in the future humans will have three eyes or four arms. I know it sounds impossible, but it could happen.
