What will you leave behind on the web after you die? What will your last social media update or the last post on your blog. By the end of this year, there’ll be nearly a billion people on this planet that actively use social networking sites. The one thing that all of them have in common is that they’re going to die.

Adam Ostrow who is a new media entrepreneur and commentator asks a big question – What happens to that personality after you’ve died?

Technology has enabled us to imagine a representation beam of our loved ones who are no more into our living rooms interacting in a very life-like way based on all the content they created while they were alive.
