I was thinking the same before I read your remarks...I think this story kind of illustrates how easily we can all become isolated from each other as our lives become increasingly automated. If I died in my sleep tonight, my coworkers would try calling me Monday, and somebody from work would swing by on Monday, lunchtime at the latest. I wonder how many telecommuters would just be written off, their employers assuming they just went to work for somebody else....

I'd have several people from work checking: maybe not the first day, certainly after the third day off with no notice.

I'd have neighbors even sooner, and the church LEM'ers/ushers would coming looking after the first two days I missed a schedule.

But my family even quicker.

A sad end to a forgotten person, may he (continue) to rest in peace.
