Prayer is universal and every people does it. Basically it is a monologue trying to convince an invisible and incommunicative Father in the Heaven to do something for one. Many say it is effective, or at least improves one's spirits.
The technology of prayer has not changed in thousands of years. The question is if it could be improved and made more cost-effective. The Tibetans have made a large step forward inventing mechanical prayer wheels, that can be operated by hand and produce dozens of simultaneous prayers. They have also automated the wheels, operating them by wind power. A real Earth-friendly technology.
Could modern computer science add something to it? This fascinating area is open for innovation and start-ups.

Reminds me of the Electric Monk from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
This is so funny J
Then pick up the idea.
What about a virtual Kaddish? A website where your avatar says the Kaddish for your loved one every day online. You can share the site address with your social network, and by clicking a button they can donate a few dollars in memory of your loved one to a worthy charity.
Fred,
Someone else thought about that before.
