The E-Mail Time Capsule
There are several websites that let you send email to your future self. For example: FutureMe.org, MailToTheFuture.com and FutureMail. The main utility of these services is for reminders. Forbes has a slightly different twist on the idea: The E-Mail Time Capsule. They let you send email to your future self 1, 3, 5, 10 and 20 years into the future and will seal the time capsule on November 30th, 2005.
Given that this is a free service, there's no absolute guarantee that the messages will arrive. Forbes partnered with Yahoo! and Codefix to build the service but noone can say for certain whether either of them (or Forbes for that matter) will still exist in 2025.
Note: the FutureMe.org folks are pretty upset that Forbes copied their idea.
