IV. Further reading

  An annual survey (run by the Digital Legacy Association) suggests that awareness of the issue of digital legacies has increased in recent years. However, around a third of people still report that they are either ‘extremely’ or ‘somewhat’ unfamiliar with the term ‘digital legacy’.

  Nearly half say that nobody other than them has knowledge of the password for their computer.

 

·What percentage of people are not quite familiar with their “digital legacy”? What percentage of people never share their computer passwords with others?

 

  A massive 92% of people report that they have not documented what should happen to their social media accounts after their death.

  On one level, of course, it is good not to share passwords. However, this becomes a huge problem if someone dies or is seriously injured in an accident

 

·What can you infer from the 3rd paragraph? and why it may lead to huge problems?

 

·document  v. =make a detailed record of sth. in writing or on film or tape 记录

 

It’s Up To You!

  Managing your digital legacy is up to you. Nobody else can or should decide for you what to do. You own the accounts, including any credit on them (for example, from gift cards or on gaming sites).

  As with your physical legacy, the most important thing you can do is to appoint someone to manage your digital legacy, and make your wishes clear in advance.

  The best way to do this is to make a digital will—or mention your digital assets in your will.

 

·Read and translate the following paragraphs into Chinese.

account n. 账户

element n. 要素

post v. 发布

 

  It is helpful to provide a clear list of all your social media accounts and other elements of your digital legacy.

  You should also set out what you would like to happen to each of these accounts: for example, for them to be shut down, or a message posted explaining that you have died.

 

V. Post reading

  Group Discussion - With the help of the  reading material above, share with your group members about how you will plan and manage your digital legacy.
