Notes on the Techno-Spiritual - January 24th, 2007

Following up on the UBICOMP 290 discussion of Dr. Bell’s techno-spiritual paper, “No more SMS from Jesus”… is this article that Eric B. alerts me to:
Grief, comfort meet on MySpace – Los Angeles Times
“…BUT the grieving on MySpace is unplanned — the dead person’s page is a frozen moment, showing when they last logged on, their favorite books and movies, whether they were in a relationship, and photos of their best friends. After their death, their friends post messages to the departed that are akin to text messages between high school pals, stream-of-consciousness blurbs filled with slang, misspellings and abbreviations. The messages are sorrowful and sweet, angry and funny, routine and heartbreaking. They include reminiscences, pleas to watch over them, and updates on events the dead friend has missed. ”
