Rise of the Technology Class

These conversations are between students from Ecuador, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Spain and the US who see technology serving a higher purpose: Transparent and active. A counter-culture to their predecessors. Evidence of a new type of generative class who apply technology to art, music, culture and involvement within the community. Their activity is central to the new creativity, to our evolving simplicity and civility. These multinational students are a new socially conscious driven generation of storytellers. >>>>> The Moderator, Michael Davis is a 2009 Executive MBA graduate of the Berlin School of Creative Leadership, Steinbeis University Germany.

From Cristo – Unlock our passwords when dead?

July 5, 2009 at 10:58 am · Filed under Authors

I never asked the question: What is supposed to happen with my accounts or files stored on virtual servers when I die?

Can my family members access the accounts either to inform people of the misfortune or to recover important data?

When you die your family can access your accounts. Virtual services do not have the same policies.  Yahoo! undoubtedly is among the toughest.  Google and AOL state they will provide access to an email account if the person submits copies of the death certificate and a “Power of Attorney” legal document is submitted. Microsoft claims that its policies allow relatives to gain access to the account of a deceased person if the relationship is proved.
