I've always found old cemetaries to be fascinating, sometimes you stumble across an old headstone, and it would be interesting to see pictures and details about who a person was, rather than just this is their name, they were born and died, the end.  This has the potential to be very beneficial to future geneologists.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Princess Sabrina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 2:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/rosettastone-communicates-with-your-descendants-and-aliens-from/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/rosettastone-communicates-with-your-descendants-and-aliens-from/</guid><description><![CDATA[Great idea!

Oh...forgot, I'm the one that likes that, not the people that would be standing there looking at a headstone!!!  Oh well...I guess that is why I have purchased a contract to be cremated.  My ashes will be put in a special frame (won't be able to see ashes) and I want a photo of my daughters and I in it.  That way, I will always be with them!  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lynn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 6:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/rosettastone-communicates-with-your-descendants-and-aliens-from/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/rosettastone-communicates-with-your-descendants-and-aliens-from/</guid><description><![CDATA[You Sir, are a Genius!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[snake plissken]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 3:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/rosettastone-communicates-with-your-descendants-and-aliens-from/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/rosettastone-communicates-with-your-descendants-and-aliens-from/</guid><description><![CDATA[The only real time benefit I see to this "invention" (actually a combining of already available devices) is to the seller of cemetary monument stones and the cemetary itself. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe Papierz Jr]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 4:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/rosettastone-communicates-with-your-descendants-and-aliens-from/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/rosettastone-communicates-with-your-descendants-and-aliens-from/</guid><description><![CDATA[Who's kidding who? This will probably sell, but think about it. Electronic devices fail, and do so regularly. How many years into the future are these gadgets going to actually last? One good lightning strike could wipe out the microchips on a hundred graves. Add to that all the other possible causes of failure, such as corosion, deterioration of materials,vibration from nearby traffic.... I have a collectoin of transistor radios fro the 1950's and 60's. Although they all played fin when I nbought them in the 80's, about half of them have degraded in performance or have stopped working altogether. They also have been stored in a dry, heated / air conditioned place,and not outdoors where sealing materials can crack and leak over time.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cattattac20]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 4:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/rosettastone-communicates-with-your-descendants-and-aliens-from/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/rosettastone-communicates-with-your-descendants-and-aliens-from/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's easy - the electrolytic capacitors have dried, normal aging process, nothing can be done to stop it. But the chips in that store all all silicon and it will take many thousand of years before recrystallization will become a problem.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mark3]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 18th 2010 3:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/rosettastone-communicates-with-your-descendants-and-aliens-from/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/rosettastone-communicates-with-your-descendants-and-aliens-from/</guid><description><![CDATA[A few years ago I suggested to family and friends that with technology available monuments at gravesites should have an LED screen and adio so that while visiting a grave site of a loved one, a pre-recorded presention (before death obviously) would greet the visitor by the deceased with a memorable message.

What about the future.. talking 100 years or so from now? We won't be here, but decendents of that family member may want to know history of their great great grandfather or something. What if that technology is no longer available? I have a vcr, sure, most still do. Do stores sell vhs tapes any longer? Nope. Why? They came out with better technology - dvds. Like I said, nice for the moment...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[~*Jamie & Erik*~]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 8:03PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
