Yes, we live in fast-moving times and leafing through old photo albums is rewarded with nostalgic feelings...perhaps it is human nature to look back at the good old days with a glorified view, but due to experience with social, technological and medical progress, our journey with a time capsule would quickly take us back to the present day...
