The Robson Valley Museum Society recently held an exhibition of local newspapers from the last 100 years. Then they held a contest where participants were supposed to create a front page from a Robson Valley newspaper 100 years in the future. Above you can see my entry. I guess it is probably pretty clear I don’t have much faith in the future.
Assuming that by the year 2115 there would probably be a complete collapse of society, due to some disaster, be it natural, ecological, or the destructive inclination of humankind, I tried to think of what form of public information might be left to the survivors. I finally decided on a piece of paper tacked onto the trunk of a tree. To do the message I found the oldest piece of paper I could, and wrote the message on it using a piece of charcoal from the wood stove.
