Read about this on MSNBC.com this morning, and posted a link to it in the "5 year plan" thread, but thought it deserved a thread of it's own. Pretty cool idea, basically, you write an e-mail to yourself, which will be delivered to you on the date of your choosing (up to 30 years). I did one to myself for my birthday in 2008.

Unfortunately my email box will be so full of spam in the next few years that I will probably not even read it.

I tried this but I received an "out of office" reply from the future me. Oh well, I must be on vacation.

Thats cool but I doubt people will be using the same email account ~6-7 years in the future. I will probably still have mine though, haha..
No way people will be checking the same email account in 30 years.

Yeah. That's one reason I only did a 3 year e-mail. I know I'll still have my hotmail account then. However, you can register with them, think it costs money, but you can update your contact information as time goes on.

my elementary school teacher did this, i think in 5th grade. she had everyone write themselves a letter which she'd deliver like 5 years later. i got the letter like my first year of high school. cool idea

That must've been something. So what did you write to yourself?

^ i dunno, mostly bull shit. "your favorite band is..., your favorite food is... your dogs name is..." that kinda meaningless elementary school nonsense. i was just a dumb little kid, the significance of the whole thing was lost on me.
