与故人对话 给子孙以启示

Imagine picking up the phone and having a virtual face-to-face conversation with a long-dead relative or someone famous. Now technology can make that possible.

An app created by the company Storyfile will soon be available for users to record answers to questions about their lives and save it for future generations. Anyone with access to this account can then have a conversation of sorts with a person who recorded these answers.

A person's answers can also be placed in a public mode, so anyone with the app can interact with that person. In the future, another possible application would allow users looking for work

to include a link of their answers to job applications or to a social media page, so that potential employers or friends can learn about you in an interactive way.

Storyfile aims also to produce higher quality interactive life histories with prominent people, such as astronauts, celebrities, and even past presidents. From these cameras to your smartphone, interactive life histories can help connect the present to the past in a more personal way.
