As quickly as our technology changes, I hope this inventor is focused on
staying ahead of it. Two hundred years from now, folks will be digging these
up, along with the sunken headstone, and saying, "oh yeah, I've heard about
these...they were all the rage in the 21st century. What a story they could
tell..."

Now that is a really neat idea.
It reminded me of a few years ago when I was given a letter to read at
the company where I worked. We made prototype electronic products. A man
wanted us to make the electronics for a new lighted memorial item you could
put
on headstones. This enterprising fellow was promoting how popular this
item would be, his key sentence was "The baby boomers are dying and that's
good news." Due to the fact I am a boomer my colleague in the marketing
dept.
thought I would get a kick out of it. I was not as amused as I was amazed.
My passing on was less good news to me than it was to him. :)
