Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: A, University of Auckland, language: English, abstract: Thanatos and technology have bonded. The use of thanatechnologies through the rise and integration of internet services has seen death become part of media and computational logics. Social practices and conventions of death and grieving are moving online. Like with other aspects of mediatisation research, media-embedded processes driving social change are becoming the norm. The paper studies this procedural change on death - how big data services and applications are dealing with notions and possibilities of a computational afterlife.
