Memories offers a way to record personal messages today to pass onto loved ones at a time you choose. Through Future Messages, you can record and schedule messages to send to loved ones weeks, months or years into the future.
Future Messages is a unique concept that "bends" the limitations of time. You can send words of wisdom, encouragement, or simply funny stories to future generations, right now.
Why send Future Messages?
Future Messages may not allow you to predict the future, but they will allow you to connect with future generations long after you've passed away. Future Messages are not just for those who are critically ill or in their golden years — they're for anyone who wants to share their thoughts, ideas and expressions with those they might not be able to meet, such as their grandchildren's kids. Future Messages give the people who receive them the opportunity to connect with you despite the wide chasm of time between your lifetime and theirs.
Of course, sending future messages is simply fun. It's an interesting concept that has been around for decades but it hadn't been perfected until today's technology arrived. For example, there are apps and programs that allow you to send text messages, email or even publish a blog article way into the future. That's the idea behind Future Messages, except that you can link your Memories' Future Message to a Memories Timeline, to create a very personal multimedia experience for your loved ones.
