Ex 4: ''Digital Documents Reveal What Life was Like in 2006''

Following the model of the Onion article on e-mail, write up an imaginary news story that uses documents you have created or encountered recently, in which archaeologists of the future try to come to conclusions about how those documents revealed the values and social norms of our present culture. Focus on insights that would not have been obvious from digital documents collected in 1995.

Souds like a task,but,I am up for it. I wonder what researchers will think when they dig up my archives? We are the wave of the future,onward and upwards.
