I saw this or a similar story awhile back, and I thought it certainly was "thinking outside of the box"! :rolleyes:

But curiously, when Edison invented the phonograph - he thought a good use for it would be to record an elderly loved-one's message before they passed on, so it could be played back to reminisce with at a later date...it was considered a rather morbid concept - even in Victorian times.

Fortunately, they came up with a better idea for the phonograph.

Like the old saying..."what goes around - comes around"...

I get to stumble a website that sells grocery items while waiting on a train station in South Korea a month ago. It's the first time I get to see some brilliant use for QR codes

This is thinking outside the box.

I served in Iraq and I think offering a free service like this would be a great way to honor fallen service members and share their story with others. Families will be able to share their loved one's story and military accomplishments, etc.

Does anyone know if there is already a website dedicated to this?
