Very soon graveyards will become tours of interactive life stories.
And it starts with this company: Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone is offering stone tablets with RFID chips to be placed in people’s headstones. Instead of trying to glean a lifetime from a pithy 10 word epithet, you can now use your NFC-RFIS enabled mobile to access someone’s personal goodbye, their favorite recipes, family tree, favorite songs, etc. It seems right now this is only text…but you know that in the very near future this will also include home movies, audio files, etc.
I can seriously envision people walking through cemeteries on a beautiful Sunday, using their phones to access this new Facebook of Dead People. It would completely change the dynamics of what a cemetery means.
Pretty Cool.
