BBC Radio 4 – Digital Legacy

Problems that can take place when suitable plans are not made in advance for one’s digital lives and their digital legacy. Hayley Smith talks about the difficulties she experienced following the death of her husband Matt. This includes his Facebook and other online accounts. James Norris from the Digital Legacy Association closes the feature discussing some of the practical things we can do in advance when it comes to making plans for one’ online accounts and the content (digital assets) they contain.
