Death is forever - online

At a time when people were set aside and is believed to have been passed and gone forever. But now it seems, death is forever not only the person who died, but for all of us, given that honor the dead and the mourning is gone online.

I just read an interesting article on this in early March 2010 edition of Newsweek - RIP on Facebook "by Lisa Miller, describing the death of a British fashion designer Alexander McQueen, who died in a suicide bombing in 40first week, more than 80,000 people a fan of him on a Facebook page, and people have sent their messages of pain.

This article took me about death is very publicly and sometimes internationally in this global world where we are all connected to the Internet. The end of the song life is so different are used to the death to be recognized on the street. Suddenly there was a family business or community, where people are used to gather to watch the funeral or have a memorial service forany. In some cultures, including the U.S., for most people, this rite of passage was a simple, heartbreaking story led to a church or funeral home. In other cultures there was a ceremony symbolic of the transition from one state to another, such as sending a warrior chief on a boat in Viking culture, and then burned CDs, or the idea of a boatswain on a dead person all the river Styx in Greek mythology. In others, death was a moment to remember and debauchery, asIn the wake of Ireland. But more importantly, is a time for those who had always had some personal connection with the deceased, to be together, hear forge new bonds of kinship and community and a sense of Community support for the recognition and mourning.

But now, increasingly, the death was impersonal and now accepted practice. I think, a kind of watershed in 2005, was injured when a funeral - the Junior Funeral Home in Pensacola, Florida, which is no longer in operation -announced the first drive-in funeral service. People could just drive through, just like going to a Drive-in, and do not even Have to Get Out of Their cars. Could almost dead, like going to check the menu to 'McDonald's and then removed.

Another milestone in recent decades, the outpouring of public grief for a high profile and celebrity deaths. In 1960 there was a long period of national mourning for JFK, shot in 1963for his brother Robert Kennedy, killed in 1968. The funeral of Princess Diana after her death in a car accident in August 1997 issue was also a popular nerve, and the scene of his death has been played repeatedly on national television. Meanwhile, millions of people troubled world, many of those deals sending or placing a sign of their grief at the gates of the royal palace and his family at home. Similarly, Elvis was more of a celebrity after his death in August 1977, and threeDecades later, the masses of Graceland, once at his home in Memphis, are greater than before.

Now, in recent months seem to have a new way of collective grief around the world, like the death of Michael Jackson in June 2009 and recently met with Alexander McQueen. As long as sufficient notice of the deceased have been - or part of an event that national or international attention, as a victim of the Columbine has received, people are preparing to create websites, FacebookPages or other online sites for the pain and the memory of that person or group of persons. And that sadness and reverence can now go on forever, because a site can be maintained long-term and recently changed their policy of dismantling the side of a man who died Facebook. Then, the page can stay up there forever, unless the person takes the family down.

Thus, the Internet as a virtual cemetery, anyone can easily visit and where the personwho will die never die.

'S online life eternal for those who died or is not a good thing? I'm not sure, but I can imagine a number of consequences for the future, if this new approach to keep alive the memory of the dead is always gone.

For one thing, the models to honor the dead line, this should be expanded to include almost all of them, and increasingly, it is also common to post obituaries online and in newspapers. You canWeb sites also collect the obituaries of all who died, if not already the case.

But then look at the plethora of Internet resources, as more and more pages of the online left dead. When the web of life are already clogging the Internet and slowing consider what, if more and more pages of the dead pile to happen. At some point could be even more sites for the dead than the living.

And look at the confusionIf a bot or a person visiting a website by a person who died. The site can or a page on Facebook or other sites look like the person is still alive, we may not be able to say. Then, if you can not say that the dead person is regarded as an immortal life, ever mindful of life and living as if.

Even after the first outpouring of grief, dead celebrities such as Elvis, Marilyn, Michael and Diana are global icons, so that more andCelebrities will be able to increase status symbols and live sites, film, video, photos, blogs, social media sites. So the line between life and death has become more complex than ever. The dead May Be Dead, but it lives on - forever through our media, do not, someone must die.
