Comments: "Digital heritage" question of the bell or the person to be tied

Xinhua News agency reporter Li Personal website, forum post, email, blog, social network, micro-blog, network album, Network video ... These allow us to be the first generation to leave a digital life record.　　Thanks to the rising cost of "cloud storage" technology, a person who exists on the Web "for the rest of his life" can be much longer than its actual lifespan, and may even achieve eternity in some way. Domain names and user names have been sold at high prices, video can also be bound ads, especially in the online game "the Andean world," a virtual International Space station by a player to buy 330,000 dollars, set the Guinness Book of Records, more and more people no longer doubt the economic value of virtual goods.　　The "digital heritage" is not just about money, but more importantly, the digital content behind it has great emotional value for deceased relatives and friends, and may be the only intuitive way for future generations to learn about their ancestors. The impact of digital technology on human life has become pervasive, and the "digital survival" predicted many years ago is becoming a reality.　　The issue of "digital heritage" is more and more to show that not only love and hatred of this life, people leave this real world, in the virtual existence of digital technology invasion remains nowhere to escape. The rapid popularization of digital technology has brought a series of shocks to People's life style and related laws, regulations and ethics, etc. What is more noteworthy is that digital technology has brought challenges to human beings ' fundamental values, which leads to the existence of people being virtualized, symbolized, machine-even alienated, as the famous line circulated on the internet, "No one knows you are a dog on the Web."　　This is also the core of the "digital heritage" and the accompanying "Digital Life" problem. Some scholars have pointed out that the soul of digital technology should be the humanistic spirit. With the increasing digitalization of human survival and death, it is particularly necessary to strengthen the construction of humanistic spirit and prevent people from becoming slaves of digital technology. In this sense, in the face of "digital heritage" and other digital technology development brought about by the new issues, in addition to focus on technology, regulations and ethics, but also pay attention to human nature care.　　The key to the issue of "digital heritage" may still be in people. The complexity of the issue of "digital heritage" lies in the fact that, in addition to the recorder himself, relatives or clients, the network service providers are involved. The Silicon Valley region of the United States has been holding a symposium on "Digital Death Day" since 2010, focusing on "digital heritage" planning. There was a consensus among the participants that the major ISPs were reluctant to involve the death appraisal process.　　As a result of the lack of relevant laws, there is no uniform model of inheritance or clearance of "digital heritage". Facebook, for example, will immediately turn the user's page into mourning after presenting a user's death certificate or a news report confirming his death, but relatives and friends can only get the right to manage the mourning activities, and Facebook does not provide an account password. Google and Yahoo Mail services are required to have a court decision to start reviewing the client's eligibility, relatives may obtainThe content of the message, but also can not get the account password. In addition, some Web sites will be a long period of time does not login account for automatic cancellation of the removal process.　　Because of the long time to apply for court permission, many people have been permanently deleted from their accounts when they get permission.　　For virtual items in online games, the practice of online gaming companies is that users play a role in the game, buy or acquire the virtual goods do not have ownership, can not be donated to anyone, nor is it part of the estate distribution category. At present, the so-called "digital heritage" planning is becoming an emerging area of the internet industry.　　The analysis of a wide variety of services may give more than 2 billion internet users worldwide the idea of planning a "digital heritage". For example, netizens should first consciously establish their own network account list, and on the basis of the account and its contents according to "Inheritance or forget" classification. For the content to be retained by relatives and friends, then according to the business value and emotional value division, the content of commercial value according to the relevant laws and regulations to deal with. and emotional content may be able to try some of the current related network services.　　A site in the United States called "Heritage safe" is to allow users to store various accounts and password information on their web site, and specify the relevant executor, after the user died, the site will send this information to the designated client.　　The "Internet Archive" in San Francisco has been collecting web pages, multimedia files and pictures since 1996, and users can consider donating their "digital heritage" to similar archives as research materials in the fields of sociology. The development of technology is expected to provide a new solution to the planning of "digital heritage". Internet users do not want to let anyone see some of the best way to delete, of course, but if you upload files, pictures, etc. can add a "valid period" sounds good.　　A German company named X-pire has launched a software program that allows users to upload photos to Facebook and delete them automatically after the expiration date. But in the end, the best person to plan for a "digital legacy" is the client himself. Peter Swail, a law professor at Ohio State University, served as chief advisor to former U.S. President Bill Clinton on privacy issues. He said that many business network companies, although seemingly unreasonable, but also understandable.　　As more and more personal life is presented in digital form, the easiest way to do this is to tell the account password to someone you can trust. Some experts also pointed out that in order to leave a good "digital life" image, it is best to standardize their own online words and deeds before the body. Twitter, which offers microblogging services, has been in the Library of Congress in digital form since its launch in 2006 and all the public content posted on its platform has been digitally stored. "Any traces you leave on the web, from the search record to the nonsense on Twitter after the hangover, may be the basis for future generations to judge you," Evan Carol, founder of Entrustset, the US digital heritage Planning company, said in a media interview.
