Back to the Future

Anyone who has seen the ‘Back to the Future’ movies, might feel that getting a note from the past is a very cool thing. At least I think so. Futureme.org allows you to do just that.

The site is one of a handful that let people send e-mails to themselves and others years in the future. They are technology's answer to time capsules, trading on people's sense of curiosity, accountability and nostalgia. Futureme.org allows people to send messages 30 years from now but most choose the message to be sent within 3 years.

According to the founders, a large number of the messages sent do one of two basic things: tell the future person what the past person was doing at the time and ask the future person if he or she met the aspirations of the past person.

Visit Futureme.Org and send yourself an email.
