And now a word from the dear departed ...
By Gearhead, NetworkWorld.com, 09/14/05
What was once merely a figment of the imagination has now become a reality. Memories are no longer solely relived in your mind, but at your loved one's place of rest. While While nothing ever replaces the gift of life, memories can now come one step closer to forever being remembered and not forgotten with a Vidstone Serenity Panel. -- Vidstone LLC product pitch.
We wish we were making this up but Vidstone LLC will soon be offering a solar powered movie player to be embedded in tombstones so that should you forget the sight and sound of the dear departed you can watch the equivalent of "This is your life" while visiting their grave ...
But why not go further? Why not make the device sensitive to passersby so that its message can be replayed to anyone passing. Wouldn't that be great to be able to heckle from the afterlife? "Hey, you, got a minute? Let me tell you ... "
