Death, and the Internet

People die all the time, it's no secret, but morbid curiosity is now easily satisfied with more and more people using facebook, twitter and the like. For some reason or other, death is something that I often think about, and having what may be called a bountiful online presence makes me wonder about what would happen if I were to die suddenly.

The Greatest Pain

The greatest pain, not physically, but emotionally, must be when you're unable to realise the grand ideas you conjure up. Okay, maybe a tad dramatic, and I guess the answer is fairly simple.

    Can we take this fascination with morbidity and shove it somewhere that smiles?

    I had high hopes for this article when I dreamt it up, unfortunately it's suffered from being written in pieces over a 2 month period, and as such probably makes little sense / point. I was fascinated by my own morbid fascination and more concerned about my online legacy than I was about actually dying, then I stumbled across Michael and that got me thinking even more about the diference between what you'd leave if you died suddenly versus what if you knew you had only days to live. Ultimately, does it even matter? Should you (I) be more worried about how I'm living my life than how people see me online after I die, I think the first is obviously the most important, but it's still something interesting to consider.
