I just finished reading The Tender Bar, a memoir by Pulitzer Prize winning author, J.R. Moehringer. Because he is a writer for the Los Angeles Times, I went to the LA Times website to check out his writing. Upon reading, I was immediately distracted by the content of the story.
In his March 25, 2007 story entitled “Dear Me”, Moehringer tells about two people who created and developed FutureMe.org. Matt Sly and Jay Patrikios decided to develop software and a website that enables us to email ourselves in the future. What a concept! What imagination, talent and creativity of these two people.
Some of you might ask “why in the world would I want to email my future self?” After reading the story, you might change your mind.
If you were to write an email to your future self, what would you say?
Weirdly, or maybe not, I heard about FutureMe on NPR yesterday and thought it was a brilliant idea. I don’t know yet what I would say. I think what I’d really like is to receive an email from future me today. That would be pretty helpful.
