His accounts, to which you don't know the passwords, go idle. His e-mails go unanswered, his online multiplayer games go on without him and bidders on his eBay items don't know why they can't get an answer from the seller.
Web site domains that he has purchased, some of which are now worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, will expire, and you may never know.
It's a scenario that's becoming more likely as we spend more of our lives online. And it's raising more questions about what happens to our online lives after we log off for the final time.
The answer, until recently, was nothing.
But now, as online usage increases and social-media sites soar in popularity, more companies are popping up to try and fill that void created in your digital life after death.
Jeremy Toeman, founder of the site Legacy Locker, recognized that when he was on a plane and wondered what would happen to his online life if it crashed. While his will leaves everything to his wife, including all of his digital assets, Toeman realized how difficult it would be for her to access his accounts.
So Toeman built his company to change all that. Legacy Locker allows users to set up a kind of online will, with beneficiaries that would receive the customer's account information and passwords after they die.
"We know it's a hard thing to think about -- to get people to face mortality. We know it's kind of morbid, but for those who live their entire lives online, it's also very real."
A Legacy Locker account costs $29.99 a year. Users can set up their accounts at www.legacylocker.com to specify who gets access to their posthumous online information, along with "legacy letters," or messages, that can be sent to loved ones.
If someone contacts Legacy Locker to report a client's death, the service will send the customer four e-mails in 48 hours. If there's no response, Legacy Locker will then contact the people the client listed as verifiers in the event of his or her death. Even then, the service would not release digital assets without examining a copy of the customer's death certificate, Toeman said.
Eddie Lopez is the kind of tech-savvy guy for which a service such as Legacy Locker was made. The
"I do think this is something people should be really considering these days," Lopez told CNN when asked about services such as Legacy Locker. He wants to hire a service to handle his digital assets but is concerned about privacy.
"Although I'm glad there's people breaking ground in this area, I don't think I would jump at the first opportunity to sign up," Lopez said. "My concerns are turning over such an exhaustive list of user names and passwords to a single business. That's one-stop shopping for any hacker to get access to just about every detail of my life."
Lopez would prefer to entrust half of his digital-security information to a service such as Legacy Locker and the other half to family members, so that each side's information would be useless without the other's.
"I hope Legacy Locker and similar services can address these privacy-security concerns with some real-world solutions," he said. "I just don't feel comfortable turning over my digital life -- built over 15 years -- to a kind promise."
Legacy Locker isn't the only new company helping techies plan for death in the digital age.
AssetLock (formerly YouDeparted.com) offers a "secure safe deposit box" for digital copies of documents, wishes, letters and e-mails. Deathswitch and Slightly Morbid also offer similar services in a variety of prices and packages, depending on how many accounts are involved.
Not all of these services deal with online assets. There's also a growing trend towards giving all aspects of death -- the grieving process, the funeral, the memorial and even the grave site -- a digital makeover.
FindaGrave.com claims to have cemetery records for 32 million people in its searchable database, while EternalSpace.com offers a new spin on the traditional grave site by offering virtual memorial pages full of videos, pictures and tributes.
On Eternal Space, loved ones can choose from different headstones and bucolic landscape backgrounds -- the mountain lake is a popular option -- to create a customized online grave site. Loved ones can add "tribute gifts" such as roses, candles, stuffed animals and other items, while mourners can access photos and videos in a "Memory Book" and leave remembrances of their own.
Jay Goss, president of Eternal Space president, is trying to bring the funeral experience to anyone who can access the Web. In that way, he hopes to provide a gathering place, and a voice, for mourners who may not be able to attend the real-life memorial service.
"It'd be the equivalent of a funeral where everyone can attend and everyone can spend 30 minutes behind the podium," Goss said. "It gives everyone a chance to put a 360-degree wrapper on the life the person lived and celebrate that life from how every person knew them."
Eternal Space's virtual memorial sites are currently only being offered through select funeral homes, cemeteries and crematoriums. Goss' hope is that the site will help allow the deceased's memory to be "eternally" passed on.
"All of these stories and videos are being left, in essence, to this Eternal Space Web site so that everyone can share, not just that day, not the days after, but the weeks after and years after," he said.
Some funeral-industry professionals believe these online memorials and virtual grave sites provide a valuable service.
"Assuming the site is handled with respect, virtual memorials respond to a basic human need to remember our deceased family, friends and colleagues," said Robert M. Fells, general counsel for the
"Based on our members' feedback, I'd have to say that virtual memorial sites are gaining popularity with the public as a very practical alternative to being present at the grave site," he added. "There's nothing 'weird' about them as far as we have seen."
"There are funeral homes out there that will help families create virtual memorials, but ... we've also seen Facebook and MySpace profiles of deceased persons being turned into memorials," agreed Jessica Koth, spokesperson for the National Funeral Directors Association. "Consumers have become increasingly comfortable with expressing their grief online."
"While not a replacement for a funeral, online memorialization can help people work through their grief after the funeral," she added. "We've all become accustomed to communicating and expressing ourselves electronically -- via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter. Expressing one's grief online is an outgrowth of what's happening in other areas of our lives."
Q1.
This article sounds like kind of advertisement. But at least, you’ve got a chance to think about your assets on internet society. Do you have any assets on internet websites? And do you keep all of your online account information and passwords on a handwritten piece?
Q2.
If you find a website like Legacy Locker, would you consider using the service? If not, what is the reason?

Foreign Housekeeping Nannies Gain Popularity
By Jane Han
Staff Reporter
``Hi, Mom! How was your day?'' is how Kim Ji-ae's eight-year-old son greets her when she returns home from work. In near-perfect English, the first-grader continues to ramble on new words that she doesn't recall teaching him.
``It's the nanny,'' says the 36-year-old working mom, referring to her Filipino nanny-housekeeper, who has been with her for 10 months. ``She spends more time with my son than I do, so I guess it's only natural that he's learning from her.''
And Kim, who works long hours running a fashion boutique in Apgujeong-dong, isn't bothered by this at all.
In fact, English was the main reason why she hired a non-Korean to take care of her son after school, clean her three-bedroom apartment and do some light cooking.
The program is similar to the western au pair system. An au pair is a foreign national domestic assistant, working for, and living as part of, a host family.
Kim says her son has become much more comfortable with English after interacting with the Filipino domestic help, who spends about 10 hours per day at her house.
``She speaks a little Korean, but I specifically asked her to speak in English to my son,'' said the mom, who is starting to get worried that he would experience linguistic confusion from getting exposed to too much English before learning Korean fully.
Despite some concerns that may rise, education-frenzied mothers like Kim are becoming increasingly open to hiring foreign helpers to get the best of both worlds.
``The demand is enormous,'' said Kim Seok, who runs an Internet site (www.nannyjob.co.kr) that helps connect parents and jobseekers. He explained that Filipinos are most favored because of their English fluency, but Chinese caregivers are also growing popular with moms wanting to teach their kids Chinese at an early age.
Han In-kyung, manager at Family Care, a job placement agency, added that aside from the language benefits, non-Korean workers are cheaper to hire.
Korean housekeepers typically gets paid 40,000 to 50,000 won per four-hour standard shift, but their foreign counterparts receive about 50,000 to 60,000 won for an eight-hour workday. Live-in ``au pairs'' are also less costly.
``With all the benefits, there's little reason for moms and dads to turn down a foreign housekeeper-nanny,'' said Han, adding that the surge in demand is subsequently ramping up the labor pool.
Industry experts say that there are roughly about 4,000 foreigners working as a ``mother's helper'' in
Many of them land jobs through placement agencies, but some get hired through the word of mouth, said Kim, who advised employers to check the worker's basic personal information.
``It's better to be picky at first than to be sorry later,'' he said.

4 Bloggers Booked for Manipulating
By Kim Rahn
Staff Reporter
Four bloggers were booked Wednesday for manipulating the number of hits on their writings in an online forum. Police will refer them to the prosecution ㅡ the first time that criminal charges have been filed against click manipulators.
Police said they obstructed the business of Daum Communications, the operator of the online forum, Agora. The charge came two months after police seized computers from their homes.
The accused posted articles denouncing the Lee Myung-bak administration and supporting anti-government rallies since May last year when candlelit demonstrations against the imports of American beef started.
They allegedly raised the hits on their writings to between 110,000 and 930,000 to make their articles appear more widely read.
They used ``Clickbot,'' a program that automatically increase hits by seven to eight per second. One of them made an article look as if Internet users read the story 150,000 times, police said.
Most of the writings with fabricated hits became ``best articles of the week'' on Agora. ``Three articles written by one of the accused were selected in the `weekly top 10' list,'' a police officer said.
Daum suspended listing ``best articles'' last year, following suspicions of such hit fabrication.
``Writings with manipulated hits draw other bloggers' attention, leading to more clicks with their comments about them. It can result in serious distortion of public opinion,'' he said.
Police detected more Internet users who fabricated hits, but booked only the four who raised the hits by more than 100,000.
``They admitted wrongdoing, but claimed that it was a desperate attempt to spread their opinions in cyber world,'' the officer said.
Some bloggers criticized police. ``A large number of hits does not necessarily mean that the articles have gained public sympathy, although they may draw attention. Such problem should be solved through self-cleansing,'' Internet user Punggyeongsori said.

Q1. Do you think the freedom of expression should be restricted under particular circumstances? If yes, please share of it. And what could be the standard for judging the level of it?
Q2. Nowadays, we can talk anywhere anytime to anybody about anything through the internet. But sometimes it can hurt people and cause an unexpected accident. To avoid these side effects, how can we make the proper culture of internet and give it to others?
