After the Malaysian plane disappearance last month, more and more Asian citizens have been thinking about what their last words to their relatives will be. There have been websites that let you send prepared messages to loved ones after you die. One such website is Life Black Box, where you can prepare messages, pictures and such for years at a time and choose the people you want to send them to. Most users that use this website are 30- 40 years old. The Malaysian plane disappearance has reminded us that life is precious and we could die at anytime without being able to say goodbye to the ones we love. Another such website that lets you do something similiar to this is Waheaven that lets users create virtual shrines to their deceased ancestors and yet another site lets you honor people that have been long dead like Ghengis Khan or Princess Diana. A project by Lin Dongping called "Last Post" posts the last words of everyday people that may or may not have known that they were going to die, from a 30- year old reporter coming out of a painful surgery, to a depressed person who committed suicide.
I think this is a great idea because you never know when you are going to die and you might not be able to say what you really wanted to say to someone during your lifetime.
