My favorite is any system for writing. That's when we started sending actual information into the future. An argument could be made for art on cave walls, and that does communicate with future humans, but the meaning is interpreted rather than dictated.

But it isn’t. Culture and technology was transmitted into the future for millennia prior to writing was developed.
