(SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST) — Ever dreamed of being immortal?
A new tech start-up is hoping to turn that fantasy into reality by creating a 3D “digital alter ego” of yourself who will talk to your family and friends after you’ve died.
Since its launch earlier this year, 25,000 hopefuls have signed up to a website called Eterni.me, lured by its tagline “Simply become immortal”.
“Nobody wants to be forgotten,” said Marius Ursache, co-founder and chief executive of Eterni.me. “All that we offer is to aggregate the digital data that every one of us spreads over the internet during his or her lifetime and condense them in a digital alter ego that allows an easy way of accessing this information in a focused manner.”
