Time to build another pyramid, a 'time capsule' of things that have outlived their usefulness. Into the sarcophagus go the very best examples of stuff we don't need/want any more. Farewell slide rule (a Pickett 10-10 Trig made of aluminum), farewell SLR (Nikon F2 and a roll of Ektachrome film?), Farewell
to all the beautifully made servants of mankind that are now and forever obsolete.

"Time" at the bar, those individuals wishing to finish
their drinks at a more leisurely pace, could retire
within to so do. |

Stone tools continued to be made well into the bronze age, but with far less sophistication and skill. The older technology is not always made entirely obsolete by the newer. |
