Today on the world are a lot of problems. Most problems regarding politics. In the Polish government is a lot of dispute. I think that government won’t be in the future. Technology will be rule the world.

E-mail by friend
Hi, Sara!
A write these e-mail, because I have to describe you what I found yesterday. When I was in park, I saw big box. I opened this. Within the box were strange old objects. I was very surprised. In the box was also massage. Person who write the text described objects and time, when their were used. It is unlikely that box and all content endure by now. It was bury three thousand last years. Today book and desktop don’t exist. Technology rule the world. People can’t live without computers, mobile telephones and a lot of others items which don’t exist last time.
I’m really looking forward to meeting you!
Ola!

My name is Bartosz Sylla and I’m from Poland, a medium country between Germany and Ukraine. The place where you are now, one hundred years ago was acity called Zduńska Wola. 30 000 people lived there on the fifth of February.
I’m burying this time capsule on Saturday, the twentieth of September in the year two thousand and thirteen since the birth of Jesus Christ
I’m doing it because the items i used probably don’t exist in two thousand and one hundred thirteen.
Within my time capsule are: the Guinness book of records, Polish vodka, my photo, the book of NASA achievements, the new iphone with a charger, a manual and five batteries, and of course a translator with words of every language. I chose these items because: most of the records will probably have been beaten, vodka because alcohol, if there is any, will be little or prohibited, a photo on which i am for people to see what were, at the time, the ideals of man. Nasa books for you to know how much we were behind the times, and an Iphone 5 - in 2013 everybody wants to have it.
Today, in the world there are a lot of problems, for example: exhaustible energy sources destroying the environment (I could put a lump of coal into the time capsule) and wars on religious grounds are big problem of ‘my world’.
I would like this capsule opened in 2113, do not disappoint me :)

My name is Ania Pietrowska. I am 17. I live in a small town in Poland, which is called Zduńska Wola. It is located in the center of the country, which lies in Central Europe. I am burying this time capsule in Saturday, the twenty second of September, two thousand and thirteen, because I want to show you how people live in our world and what we need to live, what your times probably won't exist. Now I describe you, what I am putting in this capsule. This items are: paper books, because I very like reading and now in my world there are less and less and people often read a e-books; newspapers, because I want to show you the most important evens; Polish language dictionary, because I don't know if this point not be other country; phone and photo of the car, because technological progress is very big and you probably won't see these sights. The world today faces the problem of lack of empathy. In my opinion this is most important problem, because people quarrel and they don't have time for other people, because they work all day. This is the end of my letter. I want that this capsule should be opened in 2113 year.

Today on the world is many problems. One from the most serious problems is wasting food. in Europe and in north Amierica thousands of tons of food end up in the trash. and in Africa of Asia many people don't have anything to eat.
Other problem is a conflict on the middle east.

My name is Piotr Kucharski and I'm from Poland, a nation with the richest history. This place hundred years ago called Zduńska Wola. Today is 23rd September in the year two thousand and thirteen. I burying this time capsule for next generation, because items in capsule disappear to 2113. Within my time capsule: the Guinness book of records, Russian vodka, Irish whisky, school books ,steam locomotive, bulb, Samsung Galaxy Note III, wristwatch. I think this diversity is very good, because you see items which you don't use but for us were the norm. In the world we have big problem with war and in all have two assistants: Russia versus USA. Every time when in the world explodes war this countries start war policy. i.e. very tiresome and lead to next global war. The time capsule should be open on 2nd July at 12.00 a.m. do not disappoint me

My world is facing many problems. One of the most serious is a war in Syria. USA want stop aggression in this country, so they attack them. The second major concern of my world is climate change and the melting of glaciers. If we do not start restrict carbon emissions we can contribute to deaths of hundreds of human lives and many animal species.
I think the time capsule should be opened in the year 2113, I hope that the capsule will give you lots of information about my world and life. I count on you!
Hi !
You will not believe what happened! Yesterday at work building behind my house, workers found a strange object. We found that this is a time capsule of 100 years before! I was very excited, so I decided to call the local TV station to share information about this discovery. Together with a group of journalists opened the time capsule. You'll never guess what we found! At first I saw a big metal box with an inscription ‘Canada Dry’. I did not know what it is, until I opened the box. It was a prototype refrigerator for drinks! Then I saw a strange goggles. Glasses were intensely green with strange symbols, I was very curious. We found from the analysis the skilled person that it is some invention designed to examine the extent of radiation! I was shocked how far advanced was the technology! The capsule found more: a funny quadratic umbrella, long rubber boots with metal

My name is Kamil Golec. Today is the 23rd of September, 2013. Now I am 17 years old. I live in a small town called Zduńska Wola located in central Poland. The town has more than 40 thousand people. Clothing and textile industries are developed here. I’m studying at the Casimir the Great High School No. 1 in Zduńska Wola. In three years it'll celebrate its 100th anniversary. Today I’m burying this capsule to inform the next generation about how people lived in my times. In this capsule you can find:
- a mobile phone with a physical keyboard developed by Nokia, because those phones are already a rarity and Nokia is the largest mobile manufacturing company
- a digital camera by Canon, who fights an endless battle with Nikon
- a Book with illustrations of Polish monuments to present what they look like now
- an aluminum can of Coca-Cola
- DVD movies - the trilogy of "The Lord of the Rings" and "I, Robot". "The Lord of the Rings" to show what special effects were made in my times. However, “I, Robot”, because it describes the world of the future.
A problem in today's world is overpopulation in the largest of Asian countries (China, India, etc.). The second problem is war in Syria. This capsule should be opened in the year 2113, 100 years after burial. Goodbye!
