       Today I read one of the most depressing article called Cyberspace When You're Dead. It is about what happens to your social media account when you die. Today we have to discuss about what would happen to our online accounts. Could our accounts live on? To me if that happened and I saw it, that would just make me more sad. I believe that it should not live on. One guy who did a TED Talk discussed about if machines could analyze your Twitter, Facebook, emails, and etc. and create holographs that had your personality. To me that's just creepy. It makes it feel like the person is a fake.
        I believe that our social media accounts should live on only if we want them to. It isn't fair to the person who died if their account is still up even though they don't want it. Or, if a person wanted their account up, but a family member shut it down. Families should only save the account or make it an archive so other people cannot change it. As you can see, I believe that social media accounts should not live on.
