digital afterlife
Online existence persists
Digital afterlife refers to what happens to a person's online presence, data, and digital assets after death.
This includes social media accounts, emails, photos, and other digital traces that persist.
The term also covers services that manage posthumous digital legacies—scheduling messages to be sent after death, memorializing profiles, or preserving someone's digital identity: She set up her digital afterlife so her children would receive birthday messages for years to come.
In speculative contexts, digital afterlife can mean uploading consciousness to exist indefinitely in digital form.
