He pressed the power button and, seeing that familiar face wink from the screen after so long, he couldn't help but put his hand to his lips, as if to untie the knot in his throat that left him speechless. As tears blurred his eyes.

It wasn't a recording, but it was the closest she'd ever come to seeing him again. She recognised his every gesture, even the quizzical look on his face as he collapsed.

As the adverts promised, we all leave a footprint, and the data stored on their servers collected every fragment of your loved one's life so that the programme could play them back as they were when they were alive.

It just seemed like an old fad that money and technology had updated in the form of ones and zeros, although it was no longer portraits, wax masks or photographs that helped you grieve; now you could talk to your loved ones again.

Pulsó el botón de encendido y, al ver aquel rostro familiar guiñando un ojo desde la pantalla después de tanto tiempo, no pudo evitar llevarse la mano a los labios, como para deshacer el nudo en la garganta que le dejaba sin habla. Mientras las lágrimas empañaban sus ojos.

No era una grabación, pero era lo más cerca que había estado de volver a verle. Reconocía cada uno de sus gestos, incluso la expresión interrogante de su rostro al desplomarse.

Como prometían los anuncios, todos dejamos una huella, y los datos almacenados en sus servidores recogían cada fragmento de la vida de tu ser querido para que el programa pudiera reproducirlo tal y como era en vida.

Parecía una vieja moda que el dinero y la tecnología habían actualizado en forma de unos y ceros, aunque ya no eran retratos, máscaras de cera o fotografías lo que te ayudaba a hacer el duelo; ahora podías volver a hablar con tus seres queridos.
