Stay digital after you die
Capturing your image on film has only been around since, effectively, 1839 and for the first 50 or so years you'd have had perhaps one photograph taken of yourself in your lifetime, dressed in your best and staring at the camera without smiling.Now, with selfies, videos, singles websites
Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn, mobile phones, and any amount of public websites, the average person has hundreds of records, photos, scraps of information, memories of achievements and wonderful times from their lifetimes, especially the last few years.The link posted below is fascinating but for those who don't like to follow links, Ian Twigg died at the age of 33 and his wife chose to create a digital memorial of him and his life on Facebook, and to start a support group, WAY (Widowed And Young). More people than you would think have got a digital legacy, it's an interesting article.
Obvious? Logical? Weird? Maybe you're suddenly inspired to plan your own, create your legend, rather than leave it to chance / family / loved ones...

You just need to delete everything on your computer, every day.
But it's not just you dying you have to worry about, what about a person you've been it touch with popping their clogs, I imagine there are quite a few who'd rather their correspondence with the deceased never saw light of day
Suddenly rethinking my eventual long-term plan of becoming famous.
And you FIBBER we've swapped stories of the weird photos people have sent us
I hope.
That really IS unforgettable
As you know I am adverse to having my photo taken. And the word 'selfie' is,in my opinion, the worst to ever enter the English language.
There could be a blog in that alone, pet hate words, but mine is alot. I really hate it alot
a lotalot of people it is correct. English is ever-changing and I am out of step and old-fashioned.In what universe does 'could of' make sense?
not in the least. I do not really mind what people think of me now.. let alone when I croak. What you say does however bring to mind the words of a great man:
"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."
Maybe! Just Maybe.
And Maybe They will take my spot on cs. And become me, on here.....
Got dog!______
A while back the webz was a major part of my work...
and the latest research shows that there are over 3 million Facebook websites dedicated to lost loved ones...
Look at me, asking questions on a blog that's no longer at the front of the queue
I Miss Yaw! Too...
Hope you've been having happy times out there in the big wide world
