A few weeks left

Hello all,
This is a gentle reminder asking you to publish your final blog entries latest by January 2, 2012. I'm on vacation (youhoo!!!) just like you, so I wont be publishing any more posts. I know the one on the Amish is a little difficult, but I urge you to work on it nonetheless. I know you guys are capable of it, or I would never have suggested it.
Here's wishing you a very merry Christmas and a great start to a super year ahead.
See you next year!!

After your final status update

"What comes after life?" This is just one of the many questions Adam Ostrow asks in his talk during a TED conference. Watch the video here and answer the following questions-
1. Which are the other questions Adam Ostrow raises in his talk? Paraphrase them in your own words.
2. Where is technology taking us, according to this speaker?
3. Ostrow says (1 min 54 sec.) "But today we're all creating incredibly rich digital archive that's going to live in the cloud indefinitely, years after we are gone. I think that's going to create some incredibly intriguing opportunities for technologists." 
I would like you to think about this. What use will this "incredibly rich digital archive" actually come to, according to you, after the death of its author(s)?
