Send e-mail to yourself in the future!

On April 25, 2009, a man named Greg received an e-mail from a strange address. Unexpectedly, this e-mail helped Greg recall all his memories, dreams and ambitions a few years earlier.

In fact, this e-mail was sent by Greg himself from the past through a service website called FutureMe.org, allowing people to send e-mails to the future for themselves.

This is the unique site in the world today that allows people to send e-mails to themselves at some point in the future. It will be a kind of online diary that helps people remember a time of their "glorious" in the past very vividly.

Matt Sly, 29, conceived the idea of ​​building FutureMe.org 4 years ago. He came up with this idea in class when assigned by Yale University professors to the " Describe your entire learning process in the form of a letter to yourself ".

After the idea came up, Sly combined with her friend, 31-year-old Jay Patrikios to implement this project. Sly said FutureMe.org is not really a true past recollection service but certainly because of the site's breakthrough meaning will help it survive.

Now FutureMe.org allows users to send out future messages for up to 30 years to 2035. But the vast majority of users of this service want to receive emails sent by them within 3 years.

Sly said: ' We want people to turn to their future, goals, dreams, hopes and fears. We will try to make this service most serious . '

Sly revealed that the vast majority of users of this service want their future people to remember their current jobs and ask future people if they have achieved the expectations of the past person or not!

Currently, Forbes.com officials are paying close attention to this unique idea and are helping Sly launch a promotional campaign for FutureMe.org. In just 6 weeks, since the official launch to today, there have been nearly 160,000 visitors to this site to send messages. Forbes, Yahoo and Codefix Consulting are actively jumping into FutureMe.org projects because of the great potential of this business.

Currently there are websites like myLastEmail.com or LastWishes.com . that allow people to send e-mails to the people they love the most after . are dead, but all are not comparable to FutureMe about the level Attractive and unique.

Psychologists consider that recalls the past often will help people have a more authentic inner view and help people make better decisions for themselves in the present. FutureMe will be an effective bridge between the past and the future.

The service is now completely free and everyone can enter FutureMe to sign up for easy use. Interestingly, users cannot send e-mails to . past, but can only send e-mails to the distant future at least . 1 day.
