Internet after Death

Profile picture for user Bryan Ruby
By Bryan Ruby , 24 March, 2009

It was only a matter of time before someone was going to ask the final "what if" question for Internet users.

I'm sorry, but you're dead. Now what happens to your gigabytes of online data, Websites, automatic payments, and "virtual money"?

A new category of online services is emerging: A "Last Will and Testament" for Internet assets. It's just the start, and perhaps we'll see businesses producing "daemons" or "after-death worms" delivering payloads that represent your interests in perpetuity.

That's right, as you settle into your final resting place you too can have that peace of mind at Legacy Locker. Legacy Locker is a "safe, secure repository for your digital property that lets you grant access to online assets for friends and loved ones in the event of death or disability".  What's really blowing my mind is that there is a part of me that is whispering that this isn't such a bad idea.
