CHILDREN are the future. In 2060,today's children will be parents,grandparents and possibly even great-grandparents. Those still alive in Valdosta,Georgia in 2060 will be able to share a part of their youth with the youth of the day, when the city's time capsule (时间胶囊) is dug up in Drexel Park. Students from the Valdosta City School System have had a hand in collecting information that will be placed in the time capsule. Kindergarten to the second graders studied transportation (交通). Third through fifth graders looked at the technology of today. Sixth through eighth focused on (关注) music and entertainment. Ninth through twelfth graders went to work on fashion and food. Students were asked to make a scrapbook (剪贴簿) page recording their specific (特定的) area. The high school pages are a wonder of color and design. Many students detai1(详述) the food of the moment. Susanna Sin,16,includes the local. restaurants. " People will want to know what is here,and maybe it will be here then," said Sin,an 11th grader. Sin doubts that much will change in 50 years. Teenagers will still want to hang out with friends,and people will still be searching for the things that make them happy,she said. Education,however,would be completely different,she added. Technology will be even more important in the lives of students in 2060. Katherine Wakeley,16,said the scrapbook would give the people of 2060 a chance to see what was popular in 2010 , especially where fashion was concerned (相关的). " Skinny jeans and rips in your pants are the biggest things , "Wakeley said. The hugely popular Glee television show,as well as teenage superstars Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers,is also mentioned in the scrapbook. Though fashion,music and movies will change. Wakeley doesn't believe that Valdosta will ever let go of its greatest passion-football. "It'll still be here," Wakeley said. All the students said it would be interesting to see the capsule opened,but the teenage dreaming of escaping the hometown stopped them from saying they would be here to see it in 2060. But "it would be cool to see them open it," Greenhaw said. |
