Nobody wants to underwhelm when it comes to their final words on this planet.
"Diane, toast me a bagel."
So if you knew the exact moment when you were going to die, you might put some serious thought into the matter and really nail it.
Of course, you'd probably want to go out with something inspired and meaningful. Or perhaps a dark, secret confession. Maybe explain to your wife that, yes, you traded her stupid cat on Craigslist for a football phone. And, no, she can't have it when you're gone.
"Apparently This Matters" Is Jarrett Bellini's weekly (and somewhat random) look at social-media trends.The football phone goes in the casket. So does the dog. And whatever beer's in the fridge.
It's all a little weird to consider, but if having this mortal information appeals to you, there's a popular new Kickstarter campaign that delivers this gift of death. More specifically, a wristwatch that counts down to your very last moment.

Browsing CNN Tech while at work and came across this. Can't post the video or pic cause we still use IE, but there's a link.
I'll try to update it with a pic and vid if no one else does when I get off work.
The idea is kinda cool/creepy.
