Send Yourself an Email in 20 Years

Cool idea. This email timecapsule will send you an email in the future. I would suggest not using your MPS account. Get a free one at Yahoo or Google or some other free site.

Crazy! Technology is going to advance beyond E-mail in twenty years.

I am sure the technology will change but some sort of message technology will be able to translate your message and I hope you will be mildly amused by the outcome unless your not six feet under, living out eternity, in an unconcious void.

This is an interesting idea but it has one major problem with it. What if in the 20 years or whichever choice you take you change your email address? I do not see any technology in it that will send it to a forward address, and I know of no technology in email services that will forward it to your new email address. To the point of the advancement in technology, there may very well be an advancement in technology, and email will possibly become obsolete. But that is a mere fantasy at this point, we do not really know if everything will be voice and visual activated in the future. We may have new technology, but there will always be email. But the problem still stands, what if you change your email address and don't check old addresses?

This idea to me is kinda confusing. What if technology isn't really going to be what it is not in the future. Why would you want to send urself an Email to 20 yrs. from now. Thats can of like the method of writing urself a letter and sealing it in the enevlope and not opening it until some year has pass. It seem like they just trying to come up with ideas that were already here but just adding some type of technolgy to them or having it associated with technology.

I bet it's a scam, you write the message now, then in 5 or 20 years or whatever they send you an email asking for like 20 bucks in order to get the original message. I've seen it hundresds, thousands...MILLIONS of times.

I guess you would be amused if you get it but also at the same time kinda pointless. Honestly why would adults want to do that? I can see like high schoolers getting something they wrote and get it in like 5 years but it's just a waste if time.I agree with Evan, it probably is a scam.

This service is a form of population control issued by the CIA. What do I mean by this? As "Mr. Chestnut" said, people will put their hopes and dreams into this e-mail. All the things that they want to achieve, and when they recieve that e-mail, and see that they haven't done any of these things, they will commit suicide because they are failures at life. The population will drop massively in 20 years, assuming we are still around at that time. Maybe we got in some crazy nuclear war or something and blew up the world. It could happen.

I think that this is a good idea, despite what most of my peers may say. To the people who said that it was pointless, maybe. But maybe, some people would like to reflect on their lives and times as teenagers when they are adults. I know I would, that is why I set mine to send me an e-mail in 10 years (I'll be 26). And to the people who said technology will make this great leap forward in 5, 10, or 20 years, that is very far-fetched. Remember, back in the 1960s, we were promised hovering spacecraft and intergalactic travel for everyone. Yeah, I still haven't gotten my spaceship, how about you?

i don't really have an opinion on this subject, positive or negative. i don't really get anything in the mail as it, whether it be on-line or in the mailbox so I don't bother. and some things are better elft in the past; i wouldn't want an email in five, ten, or even twenty years of my memories as a teenager.
