l sort of imagine time as a cone that arrives from behind is focussed at each one of us(our perception) then flows into history and memory, and the older we get the more remote the memory

You are traveling forward in time but you are blind if you face forward because you cannot see into the future...
so you need to face backward and study history to guide your future... notice the important things... like education.

Actually science can't figure out "why" we don't remember the future. Serious. Times arrow does not just run forward, its just that is all were accustomed to remembering. Theoretical Physics states that is extremely possible that we can have periods of Time when we are actually living "backwards" in time. Its just that how can you remember something so odd? Also, since time was effectively erased from our memories, each time would then be the 'first' time to live (relive) the event. So, how can you (re)remember the future if its no longer in your head. However, this is theoretical.

A true time travel story
When I was a frosh at Tech, my friends and I decided to build a time machine. We sat around pondering, using whatever little knowledge we had of the subject to come up with something.
However, we were not smart enough to dream up something original, but we decided to not give up. It was a goal we were going to stick with in case we solved it. Then, one of us came up with the idea that if we were successful some day in the future, than our first priority should be to travel back in time and tell the younger us's to keep cranking. That is, we wanted to create a time-loop that ensured our success. How could we do this?
It was early in the week, and we decided to set a very specific time and location to meet our future selves. The date we picked was the following Friday. We chose an outdoor location, in case there was a lot of whizbang sparking cool stuff, etc ... The location was the stone bridge in front of the Milikan library and we decided to meet at a time when there wouldn't be many people around. So the time was Friday at midnight in front of the library.
The four of us continued to develop ideas during the week. We also collected recording equipment, a camera, video camera, tape recorder, etc ... to record the momentous occasion. Finally, Friday rolled around and we went up to the bridge around 11 PM. We scoured the bridge for anything unusual ... in case our future selves screwed up and came too early and found nothing. At one point, a campus security officer ambled over and inquired into our presence out so late at night. We explained our situation. Shaking his head, he left us alone.
As the midnight hour approached, we waited ... tape rolling, cameras ready. At midnight ... nothing. Hmmm, what happened. We really had psyched ourselves into believing something would happen. We started shifting around uncomfortably when at 12:01, I suddenly noticed a glint in the middle of the bridge. Holding the camcorder, I ran up to the center of the bridge to identify the source. There, sitting right in the middle of the bridge was ...

Forward through time with your memory facing the past.

you dont travel through time, you ride it like a surfer on a wave. you see hints of the future through current events (drop a ball and guess what will happen)
and finally you remember a version of the past from your own perspective that is blurred by confabulation - where your memory fills in the gaps or even makes up and chages things!

Facing forward, unless you want some momentous occasion to hit you on the back of the head!

You are travelling forward but your past goes the opposite direction (backwards) so the further you go forward the further away your past goes hence why you forget things because it's so far away.

Look forward because you don't know if something great is going to come along.
