What Happens to Your Digital Life When You Die? [Video Infographic]

The world has surely changed. Ever thought about what happens to your social media presence or blog or YouTube Channel after if you died?
Imagine if one of your best friends kept a trunk of of their personality… Their likes, dislikes, photos, home videos, conversations, feelings and secrets. Then out of no-where, when your friend is hit by an airplane, Google comes knocking at your door with the legal right to take, use, and recreate whatever they’d like using what’s in your friend’s trunk. Seems wrong doesn’t it? This is already happening. The biggest culprit has to be facebook. I know I’ve uploaded years worth of data and personality traits to my facebook account that even if I was dead, a stranger could get a sense of who I was and I’m not even a good facebooker.
It brings up some very important issues. Added to that, this week I have found out about the trend to doing infographics as videos instead of just an image.
