The Sky’s the Limit for Digital Family Fun
Richard Jardine was literally in the sky when he was inspired to create Skypod—a digital time capsule platform that allows you and your family to create one-of-a-kind experiences.
“Every time I was in a plane above the clouds, I would think of my family and wonder whether I had created enough memories with them,” says Jardine, the CEO of Skypod. “What messages would I want to pass down to my kids? What words of wisdom would I want them to hear about me?”
Thanks to this inspiration, thousands of families are now spending quality time choosing messages, images and photos to create a digital time capsule for birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and much more. From the funny conversation you had about the latest episode of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and snapshots of the Thanksgiving table, your special moments become a special surprise for people up to five years in the future.
Kids and parents can bond by exploring the possibilities of Skypod.
Here are three digital time capsule ideas you and your kids can use to create a fun family experience.
1. Send Grandma your favorite memory from the past year.
Imagine how happy she’ll be to see the video of your son playing “When the Saints Go Marching In” on his trumpet. Or the delight on her face as she reads the poem your daughter wrote for Spanish class. And the chuckle as Grandpa opens the photo of everyone posing on the beach—while a seagull steals the scene.
2. Send holiday messages to family members living overseas.
Whether they’re in the Armed Services in Afghanistan or consulting in Japan, aunts, uncles, cousins and more will truly appreciate hearing a heartfelt “Happy Holidays.” It’s a new twist on sending photo greeting cards—and one that lasts much longer.
3. Send fun messages to each other in the future.
Have fun sending messages to each other in the future. Kids love sending messages to themselves in the future. Get creative. Send happy birthday messages to each other. Everyone will have a good laugh filling up a time capsule. And when it’s time to open the capsule, it’ll be fun to think back on the silly fun you had together recording messages for the future.
To this day, Jardine says every time he looks up at the clouds or out the window of an airplane, he thinks of the impact Skypod is making around the world, from parents and grandparents to frontline workers and soldiers. “Skypod does for people’s memories and messages what wills and trusts do for people’s material possessions—allowing them to share things that matter both during and after life.”
