Tomb stones are uasually dull boring slabs of rock sticking
out
of the ground with a few kind words written about the
peson
buried below them, to me this dosent accurately represent
the person that is 6 feet underneath. Now an interactive
tombstone would be cool, this would be a touch screen
computer imbedded in the "dull boring slab of rock" that has
information about the deceased, this could include
pictures,
letters from friends, even a coffin cam with before
and after shots, or time laps photography of the
decomposition process for those more morbid individuals.
The coffin cam would also be helpful to anybody who is
inadvertantly buried alive (it has been known to happen.)

Personally I can't see the point of putting someone in the ground and visiting them, BUT, that being said, this is a good idea. Perhaps those who can't afford the interactive monolith can get a corporate sponsor (this grave but to you by refreshing Coca-Cola! The choice of the dead.......) |
|
| |
But you might find it a bit more interesting with an
interactive tombstone, think you could acually SEE uncle
Bert every day even the maggots crawling out of his
empty eye sockets. |
|
| |
Baked, in all those ways, depending on how close to California you are, apart possibly from the coffin cam, which is Half Baked. (Too lazy to post links - find them yourself.) |
|
| |
Basically Baked and HalfBaked. How did you come up with Computer:Cam? |
|
| |
I want one of these. I'd like to set up an interactive kiosk that changes as my body decays, providing a fine educational opportunity to be had by all. By the way, if you are embalmed, your body could be preserved in relatively nice condition for months or even years! Imagine the fun. |
|
| |
Imagine the fun indeed. I think it really would be an educational experience. Too bad we can't go "back to the future" and have already added these tombstones to babies' graves and people with weird names' graves from ye olde times to figure out the cause of death. At the time someone loses a loved one, no one wants to put on their tombstone "died from syphillis, was a really good lay" or something like that that would be realatively interesting to anyone "but" the family members. |
|
| |
I checked out all those links eccpet the forever network
before I posted, I think that it is significantly different to
be classed as a new idea. I was also thinking that there
could be some kind of map that shows how to get to
other peoples graves that are in the same family. |
|
| |
I just read recently that sombody in the us has started
selling these, curses. |
|
| |
Or congratulations, depending how you look at it. |
|
| |
The sponsor idea (previously annotated) is a bit of a crack up. You're dead and you've got some company sponsoring your 'interactive tombstone'. Sif, eh. |
|
| |
But yeah. Awesome idea minus the time-lapse camera thingo. |
|
| |
Maybe record a little clip of yourself to play when relatives come to visit.. They detect which family member using body-shape, eye colour and the likes, and sifts through the clips to find the one fitting to the relative. for example Aunty May walks up, stone detects it 'hello aunty, how are things? Being dead isn't too bad... Got that bloody pain in my kneck again. How are the cats doing?'.. This of course would be complete lies, but would make the relatives slightly more happy while confusing the hell out of them at the same time. |

Dead people have different pains to live ones. |
