Immortality on the Web?
Great interview. This raises another intriguing question -- how long will traces of ourselves 'exist' after we kick the bucket? In other words, is it plausible blogs or postings will be available and accessible 100, 500, or even 1,000 years from now? Written works are still around after centuries. Will our digital works also be viewable in the year 2525?

RE: Death and the Internet: How your online identity can live on after deat
It's very interesting to think about this issue. I thought many
times what could I do to erase my cyber identity when something
happens to me. A friend of mine passed away over a year ago,
and his Facebook profile is still active. His family decided to
update, send messages, and keep his online identity. Personally, I
would like to have all my accounts, posts and networking sites
cancelled when I die. I think this service is a great idea; however,
a little pricy given the many types of insurance services that one
pays these days.

I thought that if internet accounts were inactive for whatever number
of years they just shut down... Thats how they should be... to me i
think every one is out to make a profit. However that database that
the US Government has of every one's credit card swipe, cell phone
calls, internet use... That needs to be wiped after a certain amount
of time too (not necessarily death)... you know, the one they use
under the banner of "security purposes"
Oh and "PENWEL" Thanks, I don't know you, but ill remember your words!

RE: Death and the Internet: How your online identity can live on after death
My 20 year old brother just passed away and this was an subject my family had to deal with. We were able to get access to his passwords and logins to his email and facebook accounts. We actually were worried his facebook would be erased and we would loose his pictures, comments, and comments left by friends. We want it to stay in tact for some time because it helps us with our grief and to remember his life.
But I know when I die, I would want a plan for all my internet data so it can be taken care of the way I wish. Interesting article.
