For a yearly fee of $19.95, you can send emails after you die. Credit Dr. David Eagleman, an assistant professor of neuroscience and psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine, for that benefit. He created Deathswitch, an automated online service that allows a person to send an email after your death to preselected recipients, usually containing critical personal information of the deceased. \u201cIt can be anything from computer passwords or a love note to the last word in an argument,\u201d Eagleman says.<\/p>\n
Eagleman sees his service as a way of bridging mortality. The idea for Deathswitch came from his love of the Internet and how it can extend the human experience. \u201cIt would be so interesting to receive an email from someone who passed away,\u201d Eagleman says. \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any honor in being silent in death.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brian Rosenthal, the CEO of the Silicon Valley-based e-commerce consulting firm Robocommerce, has signed up for Deathswitch. \u201cIt extends our reach,\u201d says Rosenthal. \u201cYou can store some part of yourself that lasts beyond your life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Others have their doubts, including Rob Frankel, a Los Angeles-based branding consultant. \u201cNobody wants to think about their demise,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s hard enough to get someone to buy a cemetery plot.\u201d<\/p>\n
