Coping with Death

Technology, we see and use it everyday. I'm even using it this very moment as I type this post. I'm sure a lot of people can agree that technology has helped us and made our world a slightly better place. But when is all this technology just too much? In season 2 of the show "Black Mirror" there is an episode called "Be Right Back". This episode starts off with a couple driving to what looks like might be their new home. We can see from the beginning that the male character "Ash" is addicted to being on his phone. After Ash gets in a car accident and passes away his wife Meredith has a hard time coping with his death.Meredith discovers a way she can "continue" to talk to Ash through a new website. Here she talks to "Ash" on the phone and through text message. She even goes to the extreme to get a fake Ash that looks exactly like him and acts exactly like him. 

As the episode goes on we see how much Meredith seems to regret getting this new "Ash" because it is not exactly like him like she thought. I believe this is not a good idea and that Meredith should of never got this "Ash". How do you expect to move on from someone passing away if you are able to continue talking to them? I get that some people deal with closure differently but this was all a bit too extreme. At the end of the day no matter how much he looked, acted and even sounded like Ash he never was or will be. It best to just except the fact that your loved one is gone no matter how hard it may be. Unfortunately this could take place in our future.
