People Of Our Time is on a global mission to create the largest online collection of people's thoughts, opinions, and hopes for the future, with the aim to build an honest and intimate portrait of people today through their individual entries.
Freezing each entry as a point in time, we aim to capture a state of mind and preserve it for people to revisit years later, like finding a treasured photo at home in their attic. It also gives future generations a unique insight into those who have gone before them.
How It Works...
People Of Our Time works by inviting you to fill out a questionnaire. The answers you submit form your unique Entry page. An entry is a profile of your life and character as they stand today. After receiving your answers, we create a full page devoted to you with your answers permanently displayed online. This page is your entry, and is the very heart of People Of Our Time.
There are many reasons why you might decide to take part in People Of Our Time. Below are just a handful of reasons why we feel participating in People Of Our Time can be an enriching experience:
Give friends and family the chance to learn something new about you they may not have known before. Even when we think we know all there is to know about a person, they might say or do something that touches us and amends and enhances our perception of them.
A reminder of how aspects of ourselves change when we're adamant they won't. Your Homer Simpson Bobble Pen might make your inner fanboy/girl beam with pride today, but could be viewed as the equivalent to the Crazy Frog in ten years time. Will you cringe? Probably! But that's half the fun :)
(Psst. If you're unaware of the Crazy Frog, consider yourself blessed).
Your entry page is accessible to the World and to people who, as yet, aren't aware you exist. Through People Of Our Time, they can be! People from all walks of life can read your entry and gain insight into a life and mind different to their own. How beautiful it can be to enrich a stranger's life simply through your own existence!
Your entry is something your future children can look back on, giving them an intriguing glimpse into the person you were before parenthood became you.
You are history in the making. Decades, maybe centuries from now, this will be the most accurate analysis of the People Of Our Time. You're leaving an imprint of your life, never to be forgotten, for generations to come.
Whatever the reason, we hope you'll find one that encourages you to join us on this extraordinary journey to better understand and appreciate the people who make this World what it is.
That is, people like you.
