"Pick out a code word that you could use to prove you were a human being when dealing with family and loved ones"
Long before the digital age, Harry Houdini is said to have made such an arrangement with his wife. He told her that if he were to die first, and she were to ever to try contacting him via a psychic medium, she was to ask the medium to get the departed Houdini to tell them his code word (known only to Mr. and Mrs. Houdini) - as proof that the medium really had made contact with him "on the other side".
There's something almost too apt about this as a metaphor for our current situation. Are we really hurtling towards a world where our loved ones are reduced to digital ghosts and phantasms with the telecommunications industry interposing as the charaltan medium pretending they're putting us in touch with the real thing?
