A company in Slovenia has developed a display for an interactive tombstone which will show the deader and say whatever you like. This nifty piece of hardware will cost €3000 but, why not, it will have a 48-inch screen. (RT: Death goes digital: Interactive tombstones with video, photo content now available)

A Slovenian company has created a virtual way to grieve, with digital interactive tombstones that play video and other digital content to mourners.
A prototype of the weatherproof and vandal-proof digital tombstone is set up at the Pobrezje cemetery on the outskirts of Maribor, Slovenia's second largest city.
Created by Bioenergija, the 48-inch interactive screens can show pictures, video and other digital content of the deceased.
The tombstones look ordinary until someone stands in front of them for a few seconds. As soon as the sensor detects someone, the tombstone comes to life.

Are you getting a queasy feeling in your guttywuts about this time, my droogies?
You need to pull up some of that Jetsons spirit and get with the future, don'tcha know. This is so much the NOWness of the MEness. This is making death organic, man.
Or it's doing the same thing Greeks have been doing for quite a while. There are many pictures, artifacts, and mementos around a Greek grave site and I found it charming in getting to know people a little bit. I imagine that would have been a ratcheted-up level of weird if it had been at night and all those grave sites were 'coming to life' spontaneously as I walked about.
No, no, no; do NOT come to life. No more coming to life until I get the hell out of here.
Ed: what good is this thing as it couldn't last all that long
It doesn't have to last any longer than anyone who knows you and anyone else can read the WIKI.
I saw some grave markers from the Civil War in a cemetery in Rehoboth, Mass, and the letters were so worn it was impossible to read the names anymore.
The Rockhouse really doesn't think this idea is that terrible and it might even be cool. Plus it's so, so, you know, organic, man.
