Intellectual hygiene in the network from the point of view of the inevitability of death

Antique call to "remember death" in our light-hearted and cheerful time takes on new meaning, although it would seem, the whole of modern culture and the way of life does not have such thoughts.

Death is always there, and universal access to online has created a situation is not a "global village" and "global communal": in the village you can still live in the proverbial "Cottage on the edge" and did not know, but in the wake of communal apartment in an adjoining room and inevitably become part of your life, and nowhere on it does not escape. In addition, even a modest presence in social networks and messengers destroys opportunity die quietly: someone still was enough to write, speak, not speaking about the prospects sharing digital heritageAbout what below.

News of the death came to modern man just like everyone else - and casually surrounded spam, advertising, funny pictures and videos.

Possible in the morning to look into the social networks and know that someone died from known or, what is even more discouraging someone from the neighbors. If the death of the great or just famous people we learn from the more or less professional obituary, the death of ordinary people We notify common friends, by sending a message to the messenger, or by writing on his page something like "how is it Imyarek ?!".

Or we can see that all of a sudden began to write something on a specific page of a person who does not write anything else - and all becomes clear. Understandable and often unbearably absurd if condolences written by the last post of the deceased, which is often of something commonplace and therefore does not look the message of eternity.

Finally, there is the most difficult situation - when someone is compelled to inform others about the loss incurred by them personally. About it do not want to think, but that's a separate ad - find the words to tell everyone once that in earlier times would have to report only to a narrow circle. Find the words and then get sad emoticons and do not get sympathy from anyone - too big test, including for condolers.

It is normally possible to hug, to cry, to offer assistance, but in the world of virtual relationships have to choose one of three actions, or combinations thereof: put the proverbial sad face, write a few words or just keep silent, because it is not very clear, it is important ponosshemu loss of your man smiles and words, if you do not personally I know you? It opens a portal to another topic: who each other friends on social networks, and where appropriate to the brink participation in the personal affairs of the virtual friend with whom you are united by a hobby or a common political views.

You can, of course, did not report the death, illness, divorce and betrayal, but then you have to be ready for a wacky jokes, inappropriate questions And hello, for which you can not even blame: how people learn that one way or another, gone out of your life, if you do nothing reported?

Digital etiquette, sooner or later will develop, humanity has developed the general rules of virtual trouble, including the duration of mourning in social networks, forms and amounts of permissible condolences and all that other.

For example, some social networks in advance to remind us of death, prompting you to select sequence of actions with your account if you suddenly stop there appear - exactly such services have Facebook, Google, LinkedIn and Twitter. Solutions are offered two options: the account will be eliminated after a certain time, or access it gets assigned to the user digital executor. It was at his e-mail will receive a message that it can enter into a dead account, in some way to fix the status of "dead" and bring it into final form.

However, social networking is not strongly insist on drawing up digital wills, it is necessary to dig into the settings to find a point about it. But if you found it once and completed, then periodically, at the most unexpected time, you will be sent a letter with a reminder that you are mortal, and with a delicate request to confirm their orders regarding executors.

Motive of Internet services is clear: on the one hand, they do not want to pester users with clumsy proposals right now to think about death, on the other - have something to do: the virtual world nepogrebonnymi filled with the dead, where you are offered congratulations on his birthday among the living and that of ignorance continue to congratulate, whether living or inanimate inattentive people bots.

In general, the prospect of death, and above all the sudden, all our forces to perceive the digital and virtual economy with the same seriousness as the normal property.

Even if a person has nothing but debts, but he leads a violent virtual life, from him will be inherited: accounts on social networks and websites Me, instant messengers, and mail boxes, photo archives and maybe even blogs, which nowadays most often also exist in the form of files or secret blogs.

Someone will have to deal with all of this and perhaps any chance to learn about the loved one a lot of unexpected and entirely inappropriate, especially in a situation of mourning. Someone, on the contrary, will be desperate to see how the accounts of deceased loved ones hacked and filled with advertising, but on the whole Life did not even photograph remains, which can be put on the nightstand beside the bed, because the entire archive of the deceased was recovery record.

It follows from all the foregoing, it pays to be a little stricter self, and to close - a little more closely, and let's not every day, but at least sometimes to critically observe their potential digital legacy and bring it into the order in which it is not ashamed to discover the closest people: time to wash your private correspondence and awkward pictures (especially strangers), to find the time to fill out forms and in those services where it is provided, leaving the possibility of access to what may be important not only for you.

But, of course, aware of the inevitable costs not only for the sake of convenience, the near and the current status in social networks. There are very practical sense for every day: for example, would be good to learn before publication or post a comment to wonder how he would have looked as the last, and whether it is worth all write.
