Mark PackWebwill: Your digital identity after death
The increasingly detailed record of our lives that we leave online isn’t just an issue for when people die, it’ll also have an interesting effect on children.
Not only will they often be able to read back through their parents lives in detail (”You say I shouldn’t get drunk, but I’ve seen the photos of you on Facebook – and you were younger than me then!”), but as children grow up they’ll find much of their lives documented for others to see. It may be cute posting about your kid and their behaviour now, but what happens when they’re a bit older and they – and all their friends – start looking at the content?
Webwill is an intriguing service, but it’s only one part of what will be a much bigger set of challenges to our social norms.
