Break Away

Since we are all in the midst of internet era, we must talk about death. Yes, death. What I mean to say is what if this person, young or old, kept an on-line journal, profile, etc etc during his or her lifetime, suddenly passes away, should their on-line presence still be kept for the public to see? Should their last journal entry of what was going on in their life be kept up and remembered. Their last day, a picture of the life they had be kept online.

I believe it should. I don't think that if when a person is no more in the physical world should their virtual presence be taken away. It should remain where and how that person kept it. I don't think it doesn't really hurt anyone, matter of fact it may actually help family or other friends through their grieving process. The comment page can be where friends write a tribute in remembrance of the deceased. It's a virtual gathering with people from all over the world to remember this person. Almost like how a parent might keep their child's bedroom the way it was from when they left. That space is a remembrance of that person.

Well now. What do you think?
