Trong to Replace all Physical Graveyards with Digital Memory Archives - Physical Remains will be decommissioned
In a new directive deemed controversial by some citizens, the Ministry of People and Machines have ordered traditional burial sites to be dismantled and replaced with a new digital counterparts: Memory Archives. The directive states that all physical remains of carbon-based lifeforms will be decommissioned ethically, and all of the data inside them will be uploaded to TECHNO's secure graveyard-server, so families could mourn them online, and to any concerned citizens, there is no worry, because not even your family can access your memories.
Minister of People and Machines, Zi Hai-Kun commented on the directive in a public statement on Channel 1:
We have to make drastic measures, while I understand that it might upset some people, it is wildly inefficient and costly to keep running these burial grounds, when we could upload all the dead into a singular server, where they will be stored forever. In the ground your body will decompose anyway after some time. Physicality is no longer required for remembering your loved ones.
Just hours after the publication of the directive, an illegal and violent protest against grave digitalization was forming at Fort Trong Square, but it was peacefully suppressed by the Enfor-C Droids on the scene before it could get out of hand, and the perpetrators were returned to their homes.
The future is here, at last you can chat with your loved ones from the past.
