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". ‘Play Online’, I like that term.
