COUNTDOWN BEGINS FOR INTERNET TIME CAPSULE: AMERICAN BUSINESSMAN SAYS HE OFFERS THE WORLDS CITIZENS A LONGER AND LESS EXPENSIVE CHANCE TO GET THEIR 15 MINUTES OF FAME
PHILADELPHIA, PA. (USA) - 26 February 2007 -- Forget the Real World, Fear Factor and the latest incarnation of Survivor. African American entrepreneur Muhammad Nasser Bey is offering people around the globe a chance to achieve lasting fame without having to audition for the latest reality show. Mr. Bey is offering ordinary individuals the chance to place the contents of their Web pages in an Internet Time Capsule. The project will ensure that the contributions of all who participate will be preserved through the next century.
"People want to be remembered," says Mr. Bey, a 45-year-old husband and father who resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States. "They want what they think to matter and what they have made or said to be preserved. Nobody knows if the servers containing Internet info today will be around in ten years much less one hundred."
According to Bey, the idea is simple:
"Participants can have their Web pages added to the Internet Time Capsule for only $1.00 per megabyte for up to as many megabytes as desired. My Mantra is 1 Dollar, 1 Megabyte, and Eternal Fame! The average web page is about 10 to 20 bytes in size and there are around 1024 bytes in each megabyte, not including any linked images, videos or audio files. So the average person could get up to 50 web pages, enough to paper a wall in your bed room, into the Time capsule and leave space for a few small images," explains Bey.
Yes, participants can actually get as many as 50 web pages for only USD$1.00 depending on page size.
"The total amount of space in the capsule is 1 million megabytes so there is plenty of room, The amount of total web pages alone that will be posted to the Time Capsule could be as many as 20 to 50 million, providing a unique and valuable record of the early internet, a document for the ages. When completed, The Internet Time Capsule will feature a Web page with links to every Web page it holds. The Official Internet Time Capsule Web page will be online for at least seven years -- with links to the participants live pages on the Internet," Mr. Bey further explained.
So, what happens when the Internet Time Capsule is filled to capacity?
When filled to capacity, the Internet Time Capsule will be posted on the Internet for free viewing by the world for 6 months before being installed in a terra byte server, essentially a very large disk drive and delivered to Geneva Switzerland. After a brief ceremony, the Internet Time Capsule will be installed in a vault for 100 years, providing an invaluable record of the early years of the Internet. When opened in one hundred years, the Internet Time Capsule contents can be used by historians, educators, artists, writers, students, genealogist, researchers and ordinary people worldwide.
Mr. Bey says back ups of the capsule will also be made as well just in case! The idea to develop the Internet Time Capsule as a way to raise money for new business ventures by offering the world something that was inexpensive and had lasting value.
"There is no telling what the Internet will look like in 100 years. The Internet of the 1980's and early 1990's had no Web pages, just bulletin boards, File servers and email. The Internet may evolve beyond Web pages to some new medium in the same way phone calls slowly took over from sending transatlantic cables, or the way digital photography is taking over from print based photography today. The Net is only about 10 years old, as we now know it, I think many companies, groups and persons world wide will want to add their Web pages, their work, pictures, poems, articles, music, videos, movies, artwork, even computer programs they wrote to the time capsule, so others in the future will have an idea of what kind of world they lived in and helped to create," adds Mr. Bey who was the Publisher of the Africalink Import Export Newsletter from 1994 to 2001. He currently publishes the Capitalist International Business Newsletter on one of his websites at www.capitalistinternational.org and conducts Trade Brokering.
