The digital epitaph will make it possible for your biography to be retrieved by interested parties in no time at the flash of a code. As in many other cases in the history of technology, the intended uses will not necessarily be the modal uses. One can imagine with little effort quite a few reappropriations and ecological consequences. Peeking into the biographies of tomb neighbors of relatives and friends, for instance. Hyperlinking epitaphs in genealogical or social networking. And when the digital epitaph will become widespread, those who will not have it on their tomb will appear suspect. Was their biography not worth telling? Or did they have something to hide?
