Mainstream Media Heads Down the Aisle
It wasn’t in time for Valentine’s day, but the New York Times did give its renowned wedding announcements a new high-tech wrinkle at the end of February.
Enamored couples can still submit a nuptials rundown for the print edition. They can also send in a self produced three-minute video for the NYTimes.com “How We Met” feature.
Another print paragon realizes that pointing people to a web presence is nothing compared to giving people a way to play online.

‘Play Online’, I like that term.
It is interesting to see how many things people can do online besides shopping and looking and finding entertainment. There are numerous temples in India that offer online prayer services, complete with digital commands that allow you to conduct rituals that usually require a lot of time and priests. You can collect good Karma and peace of mind with just a few clicks a day and a valid credit card.
The technology section of BBC News has an article today, about a Northern Ireland undertaker who broadcasts funerals live on the Internet so that family members who are far away can participate. When asked why he thought that this was a good idea, the undertaker said, “Life moves fast - we’re just trying to adapt to the changing needs of our world”.

Lenika:
Can you post that link? Sounds really cool (in a somewhat morbid, yet technologically forward-thinking kind of way).
