TECNOSFERA

Depois da cápsula do tempo do Yahoo! ter sidocancelada, "Britain's bloggers make history": A digital time capsule detailing a day in the life of hundreds of thousands of Britons is to be posted on a website and then archived permanently at the British Library.
The actors Stephen Fry and Sir Derek Jacobi, the writer Bill Bryson and television historian Bettany Hughes are among those who have already agreed to record their experiences this Tuesday for the ?One Day in History? project organised by the National Trust (NT).
The idea is based on the burgeoning phenomenon of blogging, in which everyone from anti-war campaigners to call girls, and from police officers to government ministers, as well as thousands of ordinary people, jot their experiences and thoughts on personal websites.
In the NT project, described as a ?blog for the national record?, contributors are asked to write between 100 and 1,000 words about their day, in English or Welsh.
