You're Dead

Is it me or is the death toll on the rise these days? My friend Kai just recently lost her mother...my housemate Nickie's dad died two weeks ago...my Steplola died a week ago...and Cory died last Saturday. Makes one wonder if there really is a Cosmic Muffin Architect in the heavens. Imagine if Cyberspace is controlled by a Cosmic Muffin Architect of its own - a geeky boy with horn-rimmed glasses, clad in rubber duckie pjs. Would you trust this boy with your precious files? I wouldn't.

But it isn't far-fetched that some boy in Japan would be able to hack into some social networking site. And he'd:

Destroy your photos!
Kill (delete) all your friends!
Annihilate your Cyberproperty!
Obliterate your Cyberself into pixel dust!

You are for all intents and purposes in Cyberspace, DEAD. But you could resurrect yourself. Make a new account, or whatever. This Phoenix like ability to conjure a new you from the ashes is something magical. On the other hand, if one’s already dead and they still have an account in a social networking site, it’s just plain creepy. Remember when Miko Sotto died? Tapos nakangiti pa rin sya sa Friendster? Oh davah, creepy?
