I'm a Visionary

Quint and Hippolyta can both vouch for what I am about to write.

Several years ago I was sitting around musing about the stat certain sectors of the IT Sector and I came to the following conclusion. Eventually we will upgrade tombstones with small computers. These computers will be programmed with an artificial inteligence designed to mimic the personality of the person entombed at that location. These High-tech tombstones would also have built in holographic projectors with software designed to pick up ques from the AI and produce the appropriate corresponding movements.

Today I found an article that shows the first steps in this direction.

I also predicted that when the time comes one of the things they will overlook is the ability for these AI to interact with each other especially if they were designed by different companies. This could make for a very interesting cemetary full of "people" who are locked in an eternity of conversation. Lets hope we are all buried next to people we get along with.
