A digital legacy is the digital information someone leaves behind after they die. This online information can include website or blog information, social media profiles, photos, videos, or other online interactions.
As times continue to change and technology evolves, it’s important to make sure your digital legacy is protected. If you don’t keep track of everything you have online, it could all be lost after you’re gone. It’s never fun to think about dying, but protecting your digital legacy is something you should plan for before it’s too late.
A survey found that 62% of people think it’s important to have access to a friend or loved one’s social media accounts. These type pf accounts often contain numerous photos and memories for your family and friends to look at and remember you, but can often be hacked and have to be deleted. Making a plan for your digital legacy will make things easier on your family and reduce the amount of stress they will face after you die. Remember, your digital legacy will live online forever.
Your digital legacy includes everything you do or have saved online. Along with your social networks and email accounts, there are a variety of other things to consider when thinking about your digital legacy.
As you can see, everything you have stored online is part of your digital legacy. There is so much to consider, so it’s never too early to start thinking about protecting your digital assets.
When you think of end of life planning, you probably don’t focus on your digital legacy. Most people focus on estate planning preparation and all the tasks involved with making sure your affairs are in order.
All of these tasks and documents are very important to complete. But, you also need to consider how to protect your digital legacy.
Now that you know what a digital legacy is and why it’s important, start thinking about how you are going to protect it.
Once you have an outline and all your research, take a shot at writing a first draft. No, it won’t be perfect. Yes, it will probably be long and tough. But, it will give you insight on how you really want your story to be told. With My LifeJars you can choose a particular memory to write about, from any part of your life and add other content, building your draft in bite-size pieces. This can make it easier than starting at the beginning and running out of steam!
