I created a Gmail address for my daughter the same week she was born. My wife and I send emails to her on random things like her favorite books at the moment; our perspectives on important things that are going on in the world and things that she says we think are cute. It's like a virtual scrapbook that she will read in the future. We're also keeping copies because we suspect she'll get annoyed with us when she's sixteen and decide to delete all of the emails. She is now four and has about 100 unread emails.
