RosettaStone Tablet immortalizes you with smartphone-accessible gravestone wiki
The carven epigram can only say so much about the festering corpse beneath the headstone. If you worry that the works and deeds performed during your mortal coil will rot in the grave with you, here comes the
rosetta stone language, a fancy new chip that will allow any of your posthumous visitors to access information about your life on their fancy, futuristic smartphones.
Here’s how the
rosetta stoneTablet works. Installable on both new and pre-existing gravestones, the Tablet serves up a sort of mini-Wikipedia page on your esteemed personage, which highlights your life’s accomplishments and genealogy… as long as neither of those amount to more than 1,000 words or contain an embedded photo. The Tablet can be engraved with up to six symbols to sum up your life: the Nikola Tesla one above is a particularly artful example.
Once the Tablet is installed in your gravestone, your visitors can pull out their smartphones and access the Tablet’s information in one of three ways: WiFi, RFID or sing image recognition software to just snap a picture of the tablet. That sounds fancy, but essentially, all the tablet is is a fancy link to a Wayback Machine archive web address. You could knock up your own web page and engrave the URL on your tombstone and accomplish just as much.
The
rosetta stone spanish isn’t very expensive: it costs just $191. That’s not a bad price for immortality, but keep in mind the limitations here: banking on limited, proprietary technology to immortalize you is probably not what Ozymandias would have done.
