"What happens to our digital footprint after we die?
The image we present of ourselves as we connect in digital spaces is preserved online.
An electronic echo continues to exist after our physical bodies are gone.
We are entering a new age of cyber cemeteries.
Facebook accounts of the recently deceased.
Tweets of those no longer with us.
The internet is littered with digital ghosts."
