Email Time Capsule

What if you could write an email to yourself, and be assured of receiving it twenty years in the future?
Forbes is giving you the opportunity to write yourself an email - and you have the option to receive it in either 1, 3, 5, 10 or 20 years

It may sound like Forbes has a bad email server, but Forbes is actually doing this so you can have your own "time capsule" without the need for digging up dirt and burying a box.

What do you want to be reminded of on November 7, 2025?

Update: http://futureme.org/ has been doing this same thing for a long time - and they even let you pick the exact date you want the email delivered on. You can also read through anonymous emails to see what people want to be reminded of.

(Thanks Boing Boing)

i love this idea.

sometimes i think of the Internet as this huge blank canvas with a million possible roads. we can do so much with this gift from mankind to mankind.

except i seem to use it mainly for checking email.
