It really made me think hard about planning for my future

5. I use Hardware, Software and Services for Data Creation
How do I save this data for myself and future generations?
6. Step 1 - Preservation
I implemented a backup strategy
7. Step 2 - Preparation
I created a plan for my family to access my data
● I use a Password management service
● I created a Digital Will
○ Appointed a "Digital Trustee"
○ Created a doc with my backup and online services details
○ Listed the master password to my online password service
○ Identified all the important software and services I use
○ Chose my wishes with regards to online data and services*
● Configured services for when I die
■ Google: Inactive Account Manager
■ Facebook: Download data and memorialize account
(Note: they also offer ability to delete)
● May possibly utilize services to send a messages after I die
■ If I Die, Dead Social
8. Step 3 - Production
Utilize software and services to view and search data
● Maintain software to view and search data
○ Photos locally: Picasa
○ Videos and photos both locally and online: Plex
○ Software for other files and data
● Consider online services for archiving
○ MiLifemap
