Your Digital Afterlife: When Facebook, Flickr and Twitter Are Your Estate, What's Your Legacy? (Paperback)

Almost without realizing it, we have shifted toward an all-digital culture. Future heirlooms like family photos, home movies, and personal letters now exist only in digital form, and in many cases they are stored using popular services like Flickr, YouTube, and Gmail. These digital possessions form a rich collection that chronicles our lives and connects us to each other.

But have you considered what will happen to your treasured digital possessions when you die?

Unfortunately the answer isn't as certain as we might presume. There are numerous legal, cultural, and technical issues that could prevent access to these assets, and if you don't take steps to make them available to your heirs, your digital legacy could be lost forever.

Written by the creators of TheDigitalBeyond.com, this book helps you secure your valuable digital assets for your loved ones and perhaps posterity. Whether you're the casual email user or the hyper-connected digital dweller, you'll come away with peace of mind knowing that your digital heirlooms won't be lost in the shuffle.

幾乎不知不覺中，我們已經轉向了一個全數位的文化。未來的傳家寶，如家庭照片、家庭影片和個人信件，現在只存在於數位形式中，而且在許多情況下，它們是使用像Flickr、YouTube和Gmail這樣的熱門服務進行存儲的。這些數位財產形成了一個豐富的收藏，記錄了我們的生活並將我們與彼此聯繫起來。

但是，你有考慮過當你去世時，你珍貴的數位財產會發生什麼情況嗎？

不幸的是，答案並不像我們可能認為的那樣確定。有許多法律、文化和技術問題可能會阻止對這些資產的訪問，如果你不採取措施讓它們對你的繼承人可用，你的數位遺產可能會永遠丟失。

這本書由TheDigitalBeyond.com的創作者撰寫，幫助你為你的親人和後代保護你寶貴的數位資產。無論你是偶爾使用電子郵件的使用者還是超連接的數位居民，你都可以放心，知道你的數位傳家寶不會在混亂中遺失。
