There was a time when some thought the only proof of eternal life was in direct mail/direct marketing: no matter what, those promos just keep on coming.
Now your funeral service can be web-cast and your family can rent space to perpetually remember your life - or just a picture of your grave stone.
Instead of a remark or two in the newspaper or your personal journal or a lock of hair in a piece of jewelery you can carry a video cassette and “remember” Grampa anyplace where video players can be found- between the halves at the bar where you watch the superbowl, at junior’s birthday party whne everyone is quietly eating cake, and at those family re-unions when things start to slow down.
Just because the technology is available is it necessary for us to use it?
