Memo<br />

A last will and testament is not enough because it completely<br />

ignores the emotional side of a legacy. People<br />

rate values and life lessons as being equally important to<br />

receive or leave. Memo is a service that helps people to<br />

save, organise and share their most beloved memories.<br />

It combines modern mobile technology and low-tech<br />

solutions, helping to close the generation gap. It works by<br />

attaching one of a pair of QR code stickers to an important<br />

object and sticking the other in a<br />

book with written memories, photos,<br />

music or even pieces of fabric. When<br />

the book is full, it is sent to the service<br />

provider, who digitises it, attaches any<br />

sound or video clips, and publishes<br />

them on a website. When relatives<br />

point their smartphones at the QR<br />

code they get access to the memories.<br />
