Re: Your Digital Legacy - What will happen to it?
I see a good opportunity for a memorial site where this sort of stuff can be moved to. I'm surprised nobody has done it already, I expect there will be lot to be made out of advertising to those who visit their lost friends and loved ones which is likely to be the prime reason for spending money on creating such a thing. Maybe the people who set up Friends Reunited for non-profit reasons should take a look at the issue? If it works it can be sold on to "big business" although Friends Reunited seemed to die a death after it followed that route - no pun intended.

If I remember rightly, it was ITV who originally bought the Friends Reunited site then eventually sold it on again.

no one goes on FR you never here about it now I looked on it out of interest the other day and I think it was 3 years since anyone on my pages had posted
Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones who mind, don't matter.

Thankfully I don't have a notable digital life, the majority of my life is in the real world so I am quite happy for all my bytes to bite the dust when I pass onto the next stage...hopefully that will be reincarnation; and all being well reincarnated into a dolphin.boatbuilder wrote:Have you thought about what will happen to your 'Digital Life' should anything happen unexpectedly?

I thought this topic would be a good place to post this article which certainly raises some interesting points and gives some serious 'food for thought':
Does the digital era herald the end of history?

I wonder if an electromagnetic pulse could reach far underground? If not maybe the digital archives should be based in underground caverns just in case? I don't know how an EMP works, if it travels along cables the archive would need to be static rather than "online".
