About The Times Of My Life
Until the revolution of the internet all our memories have been
stored in personal diaries or simply just kept in our head but 50
year old Sussex man Mark Hickman is set to change that forever.
The Times of My Life is a ground-breaking website which is set to
create a revolution in the way we record our historical past.  It
will be one of the first ever websites specifically designed to
allow users to record first hand accounts of their lives through
text, images and video.

Social networking sites have become common place and eight out of
ten people who are members of these sites go directly to them
when turning on their computers. The Times of My Life is a social
networking site and historical reference library rolled into one.
It is a place to keep in touch with friends but also to share
your present and past experiences.

The Times of my Life also opens a new door for students studying
history.  In the future the learning process will not just
involve dull monologues in textbooks; the website allows members
to read real first hand accounts and experience history from the
perspective of those who actually witnessed it.  Access to
information of this kind helps break down cultural and political
barriers by encouraging members to empathise with those involved
in historical events.

If you would like to be involved, linked please contact Gemma
Collins at [log in to unmask] or 01403 783400

Thank you
