Best tips for dealing with your digital legacy

Wired magazine has a good summary of the death tech or I prefer digital legacy space. I can believe the sector is worth  125,000,000,000 dollars but people are throwing money around in the wrong places I feel.

The best part of the video comes when talking about what people can actually do to take some control over their digital legacy. First step get a will, talk with your family and finally take some control of your data now.

This is why I have been working on machine readable wishes, which work alongside a will. It could be super useful to help people take control of their legacy in the future. The beauty of it is, that it is legal now (in common law countries), doesn’t require any major changes and is open source.
