Myrna (Jennifer Dale) must have had better blind dates. Her table for two is hemmed in by strange shrouds in tall vitrines. And as she makes small talk with her date Karsh (Vincent Cassel), the restaurant's owner, it becomes clear her surroundings are attached – architecturally, financially and intellectually – to a cemetery. And not just any cemetery: its headstones have screens. Because the bodies are swaddled in natty, camera-riddled, internet-enabled shrouds, you can come here to watch your loved ones decompose.

People have a continuous digital presence throughout their lives. This will be even more so in the future. It is discussed that if your father's habits, memories and behavior patterns are created with the information obtained from these digital assets, and with an algorithm that recognizes you, he can chat with you on these topics. It is mentioned that cemeteries will change shape in the future and will actually look like a forest or a park. Imagine that all the trees in this forest have holograms in front of them and these holograms belong to the deceased and have the memories of the deceased.

Instead of new bank holidays for each of the nations of the UK to coincide with saints' days (as proposed by Labour), why not make national elections a public holiday as in many other countries? This would help to make it as easy for many people in employment to vote, as it is for people who are retired or not in work. Alternatively, voting should take place at weekends, thereby avoiding disruption to schools. Improving turnout and making the voting process just as convenient for everyone would be a step towards a healthier democracy. At what point in this progress towards robots taking over everyone's job and leaving them without employment or, more crucially, income is someone going to notice that demand is falling off so precipitously for the goods and services that the robots have been producing (because not enough people can afford them any more) that the robots themselves are becoming redundant?

Many of the problems of recognition and interpretation encountered in archaeology have close parallels with classic artificial intelligence problems, notably those of scene analysis.
