Assuming you plan on keeping your email for 1,3, 5, or 20 years, send yourself an email!

Idea is fun and interesting but I'm not so sure using the same email address in 20 years time...

yeah, no gurantee our addresses will be valid (or we'll even be alive) that long

Actually, they talk about that in the article.

They have 2 servers or something, and they say that there is no guaruntee

But I think Forbes has a good chance of staying around

You get that thing I sent you?

Hide some money somewhere then send yourself an email of the location. Go get said money when the email arrives.

Or better yet a rookie all star card or something that appreciates readily.

what if you sent it to a friend and god forbid, you pass away, and 2 years later you're friend recieves an email from you blink.gif

That's a pretty cool idea...

I will get one in ten years with subject 'you were a retard...', listing some of the things that I feel went wrong lately. Hopefully I can laugh about those issues by then :-/

On the brighter side, I've also listed what I'm currently listening to. That should bring back some memories by then smile.gif
