We now know, there is in fact, life after death, on the Internet, that is. You can actually leave your loved ones a legacy after you`ve passed away.

Nowadays you can use the Internet for just about everything.

"If you are not connected, you almost feel like `Oh, I wonder what`s going on?" said Frannie Cline, Minot State University student.

Many people may think they can`t live without the web. But, they may not have to. There`s a site called Dead Social which makes it possible for life after death, at least on the Internet.

Here`s how dead social works; all you have to do is set up a profile and upload posts that you want released after you pass away.

"It`s kinda weird. But, in the same fact, it`s cool that you can still remember that person and go back and think, oh, I had these fun times with them," said Cline.

This site allows you to continue posting for birthdays, special occasions, or jokes beyond the grave.

"Right now, it`s kinda a crazy though. But, nothing really surprises me anymore. So, with the way things are going in a couple of years from now, it could definitely be a hit, I think," said Chase Enget, Minot State University student.

Whether you agree with the concept of Dead Social or not, it does have a practical side to it. To leave your wishes and will. Let`s just call it the 21st century version of the old family album.
