Future

My yahoo encourages me to make a time capsule email message. It's been arranged by Forbes, which strikes me as a little odd. I've not looked too deeply into why they are doing it or what I might want to tell myself 1, 3, 5, or 10 years into the future. And how likely is it that my email will remain the same after all that time? What a waste it would be to create some fabulously meaningful message to yourself and then have it lost in e-space. And how very odd to think of a time capsule as being totally intangible, just a message. What would I say? What would YOU say?
