I suppose what you've already made public is already a lot of information. In some ways, i feel like a lot of your electronic personal information is just such a jumble/mess - who would want to sort through it all to find those emails or online conversations or photos that had true special significance in your life? I am personally one to keep private blogs; I would need some time (i.e. many years) to separate myself from the things that I wrote in those private blogs to decide if I would want to share them with others. As for photos, I'd share them all. you never know which ones people will cherish most.trese63https://www.blogger.com/profile/06661141690991540906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893729623045754322.post-76311531564748413392009-06-29T12:32:40.584-04:002009-06-29T12:32:40.584-04:00This one was sure a hit!

I wrote it mainly because I wonder where all of this electronic correspondence is heading (it's fascinating to me how different our lives are than those in previous generations).<br /><br />I'm guessing as e-mail and social networking evolve, answers to this question will present themselves. But not knowing what will happen, I would probably let my accounts lie dormant, making hard copies of the things I wanted to pass along. Folks can already access all of the facebook photos, but I might spend some time making photo albums (digital or actual prints, if those are still used).Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235997205773572394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893729623045754322.post-46240965626845781232009-06-24T23:27:39.924-04:002009-06-24T23:27:39.924-04:00I have often wondered this, actually, and have com...I have often wondered this, actually, and have come to the conclusion that I like the idea of having "hard copies" of certain electronic files. Photos, for example, are easy to keep stored on a computer, but I like to print a few of the most memorable/important ones. A blog, too, I feel might be worth printing and at least putting in a binder. I would probably reveal the link to the actual site somewhere within so that if someone was interested enough, he/she would have access to it - like a member of a future generation finding a secret treasure from great grandma's past.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431394810543369939noreply@blogger.com
