Further Research into Digital Identity and Remains
31 March 2017
This week I have been looking further into the idea of Digital Immortality. What happens to our data on Social Media and beyond after we pass away? Does it just stay there, could descendants use it to learn about their ancestors. Could history be archived in a new way, with higher accuracy?
I have been looking at TEDtalks by people who discuss digital identity, such as Pernille Tranberg.
She is discussing how easy it is to fake you identity online, explains what happens with your data, what it can cost you now and in years to come. And she lays out how you can protect yourself with a variety of easy-to-use tools, one is using multiple identities.
A short documentary on Youtube caught my eye, talking about what becomes of your digital life after death? From social media profiles to your online assets, Death in the Cloud examines this complicated, encrypted mix of possessions and identity.
