PRESS RELEASE: Have you ever thought why we feel the need to give our children things we never had, rather than teaching them what we never knew?

Michael B Moore of Capsikin (link)
I like this philosophy because when we look at it,the informative platforms that technology has given us, our quest for knowledge is now reached with more accuracy and in record time.
In my Dad’s lifetime, he would rely on available books, mountains of encyclopedia’s, radio then TV news broadcasts for knowledge of world events both past and present. However today, thanks to the likes of google, we can search anything “on line” , as a result there are no more family debates at our dinner table, with google being the ultimate referee.
Unfortunately, my dad is no longer with us and those who taught and influenced me have moved, making google my link to the world and beyond. I know my dad had a lot of knowledge, life’s experience, that he would have liked to pass down to me, and I remember talking about life and sharing visions for the future as well as experiences from the past. Like most of us he had dreams to write a book, but sadly ran out of time, and never achieved all his dreams.
Below is the story and inspiration of how we came up with Capsikin the platform that is designed to capture real moments so that the love lives on
My 10-year-old daughter with her intense curiosity asked me some serious questions about life , filled with confidence I started to answer drawing from my “classroom of life” and without thinking started on a verbal vomit. Now like any young 10 year old girl, she started to lose interest and bailed on me! Leaving me right in the middle of my ‘Obama’ speech as she walked back into her bedroom.
So, after another lesson learned,
I reflected on what if this was my last day and my daughter was to young to learn? How could I help fuel her thirst for knowledge, encourage her to grow and flatter her adventurous spirit. As a responsible parent my job to support my daughter in the teenager years, give advice on boyfriends, getting her first job, celebrating milestones like marriage, starting a family and so on, is paramount! With my mind racing and the thought that every one of us has something to teach: “everyone has value” and something to offer, resulted in me questioning the way we are taught to leave inheritance and how this could be improved. You hear about people leaving wealth, which obviously helps, however this doesn’t teach our children how to build a future for themselves, so what if we could leave wisdom for our loved ones here and in the future?
Capsikin is that platform where you don’t just leave your “assets” in your will, Capsikin is a platform that helps you leave your “will of knowledge” or venturing 60 your “will of wisdom”.
Our goal in Capsikin is to be that safe trusted platform where our users, respects and privacy is the top priority no one internally/externally can see any ones time capsules with out being granted any viewer access by our all important user , so it’s important that you get your affairs in order as we will stand by the users and our platform is set for users wishes,requests
Capsikin platform is a Time Capsule Customiser . It has features where you control who sees your post, thoughts, and memories for now or in the future. For example, MY LIFETIME CAPSULE enables you to leave a lifetime of wisdom and personal messages, that can only be seen when you are no longer around and can only be opened by those you have given permission to view.
Setting your time capsule to GENERAL will enable everyone to see your content or by selecting PERSONAL only those friends and family you choose will be able to view.
Go one step further and explore COUNTDOWN! This feature found within your Time Capsule sends messages into the future, a birthday card to celebrate that milestone set for 2050 or a compilation of a life well lived. Imagine receiving a message in letter form saying how proud they were of you from someone you Loved that is no longer around or a video message sharing how they dealt with tough times, wouldn’t that be inspiring.
