Digital Last Request
A friend sent this article to me today, about a technician responsible for archiving important national documents in Norway died before he could divulge his password for the database.
For a few years, people in the department have been trying in vain to crack the password to gain access to very important historical documents. Now they are trying to enlist hackers to do the job for them.
From there, I found an application called the Dead Man's Switch, that allows you to pre-compose messages that can be sent via e-mail, instant messengers or message groups if the application isn't de-activated every X days.
An odd prospect, the ability to send out messages after you are dead. Imagine receiving a message from a friend who had died a few days or even weeks before and receiving a message in your inbox.
