Leaving Behind Footprints Online

Nowaday, we can do most things online. These things make up our digital legacy. Digital legacy includes two types. One is “assets” in virtual world such as virtual coin and they can be inherited. The other kind is like social media accounts. It is difficult to deal with the accounts. First, this account isn’t really yours, internet companies owns it. Second, it’s hard to balance between our digital legacy and privacy. But it’s possible to get everything deleted.
Some people leave their digital legacy to friends or family members. They believe their family can miss them with the special legacy. Other people delete their digital legacy because they believe when their family watch this, they might feel sad. I prefer to delete my digital legacy because I think it’s my privacy. I don’t want to share my privacy with anyone. It might make me, my friends and family members feel embarrassed.
This articale makes me remember my accounts in games and social medias like Identity V and WeChat. These accounts store my secrets. In games, the accounts store my virtual coin. I can’t imagin if I die, who will erase my secrets? What will he or she do? That’s the question I’m worried about.
