Some beleive there's a world after death, and some don't. However, we left a bunch of stuff to those who are still alive after our own death. It is easy to burn ex's loveletters and throwing away the lovely teddybear we had since childhood, we simply write those down in a will if we remember to write one, but what happens when it comes to our virtual possesions is often ignored. Nowadays people have email address, facebook account, online banking account, and even a password for locked albums on their mobile devices.

The article discuss about how others deal with the virtual possesions we owned, how we organize those account when we are about to die, and the way we choose to organize the inheritance could benefit the people we loved. According to the post, there is a website - DeceasedAccount.com - lists the policy of some social network websites of what they offer after one deceased; a service called SecureSafe let people set up rules to organize their own data after they die.

When it comes to organize things in our daily life, we often have a set of principles in mind to place things in a specific order. Different principles and concerns occur when we think of letting others to reorganize those things after we die, and think of we won't have the ownership anymore. Same resources gain new meaning and information due to one's death, which results in authorizing someone else to handle one's private information.

Even we have a will of the rules of how to handle everything including our Facebook account and flyer miles, living people who actually arrange them might possibly add their own thoughts, as they don't have the courage to face the truth of losing the beloved, or simply want to keep a piece of memory with them. By doing so, just as how we retrieve and reorganize information on the Internet, every nonobservance from the livings is a change in the information of the possesion hold.
