超越死亡

Assistant Professor of Sociology Timothy Recuber’s new book, The Digital Departed: How We Face Death, Commemorate Life, Chase Virtual Immortality, discusses what happens to our online identities when we die.

“There’s about a decade’s worth of research on the ways that people use the social networking profiles of their dead friends 和 loved ones to keep a sort of one-sided conversation going,雷伯伯说. “What the book really tracks are the more recent ways that people have sought to engage with their own death 和 dying online, 而不是别人的死亡.”

The exhibition was only up for an afternoon, 我也没想到他们会过来, 但令我惊讶的是, my advisors 和 three other professors who were teaching me at the time or had previously taught me all showed up. It was a lovely surprise 和 reminded me how most professors at Smith actually do care for your well-being 和 aspirations.
