What We'll Leave Behind.

This is what New York Times says:

 "But increasingly we’re not leaving a record of life by culling and stowing away physical journals or shoeboxes of letters and photographs for heirs or the future. Instead, we are, collectively, busy producing fresh masses of life-affirming digital stuff: five billion images and counting on Flickr; hundreds of thousands of YouTube videos uploaded every day; oceans of content from 20 million bloggers and 500 million Facebook members; two billion tweets a month. Sites and services warehouse our musical and visual creations, personal data, shared opinions and taste declarations in the form of reviews and lists and ratings, even virtual scrapbook pages. Avatars left behind in World of Warcraft or Second Life can have financial or intellectual-property holdings in those alternate realities. We pile up digital possessions and expressions, and we tend to leave them piled up, like virtual hoarders. At some point, these hoards will intersect with the banal inevitability of human mortality. One estimate pegs the number of U.S. Facebook users who die annually at something like 375,000."

All this digital litter that future grandchildren will have to sort through is amusing in its own way.
At the very least, the kids of serial photoshopped-profile-picture-changers will have cool bragging rights, and the curious grandchild of a Twitter addict will know every detail of his stuffy boring grand-dad's wild youth.

Personally, I wouldn't mind re-adopting the stone tablet, and scribble my definitive literature in cuneiform. They seem to be able to ride out most calamities.
:P

P.S. My blog turned one, two days ago. Of course, stupid that I am, I forgot.
But 130 posts, 602 comments and 64 followers later, I couldn't be happier. :)
