| description | The development of technology and biotechnologies in the modern society has
seemingly made immortality more approachable to humanity than ever before;
medicine is advancing, life is getting longer, anti-ageing techniques are
becoming more common, and artificial intelligence developers claim to be
able to offer the possibility for internet users to make digital clones.
Through research of existing practices and interviews with internet users
who have lost someone, this paper will offer the answer about how much are
these practices actually commonplace and available to all. This empirical
research looks into the reality of digital immortality, especially when it
comes to the social networks and the online sphere. |
