Time Capsule

The concept of time capsules are the craziest thing ever. Whoever thought up the idea was genius. You always see them in movies and you always dream of what you would put in it. If i had to put one generational thing in a time capsule i would choose to do

CONVERSE SNEAKERS!!!

You may be asking how is this from my generation? I understand that Converse has been around since the 1940's. Even though converse have been around for such a long time a new aspect is the increasing (and continual increasing) of variety in design and color. This is something which came about in my generation. This new change, i feel, has become one of the defining characteristics of my generation. Almost everyone has a pair of converse sneakers whether low top or high top. Those who don't SHOULD!

You can buy crazy patterns. I own a pair that are made from a zebra striped fabric. Someone I know has hot pink with black zig zag stripes. another friend has neon blue and green double lace ups and yet another friend has knee high converse. The kid next to me in Teen Lead has bright red converse and my friends little sister has black to satisfy the black shoes required for the dress code at her private school. Personally, I think it's safe to say that converse sneakers are one of many ways individuals of my generation can express themselves.

I would create a custom pair through the converse website (you can follow the link to the website and customize your own!). This is another wonderful reason why it's a generational example. It showcases the technology we have and the ability we have to customize a pair our own shoes while sitting at home on our couch. My custom converse would be blue and gold (Anderson colors) with 2010 written along the side.

This would be my pick for the time capsule because it captures a glance at my school and the style of my generation.
