Since most of my friends and family know that I plan on dying at the ripe old age of 40, I have begun to think about how I want people to remember me. Then, I saw this come my way, the RosettaStone embedded granite information chip for headstones. As people walk by with an internet enabled cellphone, they can capture my information and anything I would like to share. In this technological age, I think this is an awesome idea!

From RosettaStone’s website:

There is very little difference in the appearance of the two headstones, but other differences are emotionally and historically significant. A wireless headstone interacts with a mobile device or cell phone providing current and future site visitors with an exciting discovery of information about the owner. It also introduces a product that can survive a remote data record for potentially thousands of years. The information that someone chooses to share with a future site visitor ranges from the simple to the elaborate including genealogical information, home town, profession, achievements and relationships. Some share quaint knowledge of recipes and fishing spots while others share philosophical lessons on living and giving and encouraging us to focus on what is important in life. It is specifically these types of stories that will turn a standard memorial into a treasured discovery of future generations and historians.
