Online community live eternal life



“For Timothy Berner-Lee so loved the online world, that he gave his only life to online community, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have online eternal life.”


The online world will never end as it progresses in every second even as you read this article, guess what? online community gets a chance to live forever. I have just come across “digital estate handling” which is an estate agency that handles the deceased online accounts. A number of companies as seen this as a business adventure that needs to be taped into.

These companies creates custom online graves sites for love ones to pay tribute, mourn and celebrate the loved ones. Companies like Legacy Locker keep clients’ password to their email, eBay or social media accounts and give these to designated loved ones after the client dies.

It sound insane and creepy but its real, these are the wise ways you can use your online account for. It can greatly benefit your loved ones when need to excess your accounts. Security majors are crucial because ownership of deceased personal data becomes a grey area after death.This can avoid distress an inconvenient for the bereaved as they struggle to retrieve precious belongings.

  1. So basically you can create an online account for your deceased loved one so your family can come together to mourn that person online? As strange as this idea is I think its might actually catch on like wild fire. its shocking to say the least.

  2. As freaky as it is. I think it is beneficial when it comes to the love ones when in need of the important documents that belonged to the deceased.
