"Most time capsules involve cramming stuff into a metal box and burying it in a hole in the ground. It's a method that works --but it's so primitive. What if you could write an email to yourself, and be assured of receiving it twenty years in the future?"
Your options are 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years and 20 years. Do you think they'll really send the messages out 20 years from now? If they live up to their end of the bargain, what will you say to yourself? Interesting concept.
What advice / remembrances do you have for yourself, care to share?
Enjoy! ~Kym

I'm thinking my email would say.."Are you still being an idiot?"*L* nah..I'd probably remind myself to not be so serious all the time and to have some fun. Not that I'm doing that now or anything*twitches*
But what happens if 20 years down the road.. you have changed emails..how would it get to you? After reading the article*L* it says you won't get it. bummer
Here's to hoping I am still around in 20 years... and that I'm having a better time then...

I'd probably write a 'where I saw myself being in 20 years' thing and then when I get it in 20 years I'd laugh and delete it, remembering back to the good old days when I was young and foolish.

Hmm,
I would have no idea what I would write, but I guess I would think it was spam when I got it and delete it!

One year later...
So, has anyone who wanted his e-mail to be sent after a year got it?

Hmmm...I think I scheduled mine to be in 5 years...that's funny that you found this old thread! I'd forgotten all about it, but you know if I had written one for just a year out...I think where I am now, is just a few months off target, that's not too bad is it?
YAY for growing up!!!!
