E-Tomb Preserves Your Social Networking Persona Forever
Designed by Huang Jianbo, Zhao Ting, Wang Yushan, Ran Xiangfei and Mo Ran, E-TOMB is basically, I guess, a tombstone-shaped giant external hard drive.
A tombstone for the internet-age, it stores all a dead person’s social presences – Facebook, Twitter, blogs, photos, videos, etc., in one easy to access space. A bluetooth-like device – the cross on the front of the tombstone – transmits and makes available this data. When the departed’s relatives visit the stone, they can interact with their now defunct internet presences via mobile. It’s powered by a solar panel on top.
Seems very bleak.
