In a few decades, the majority of accounts on facebook or g+ would belong to dead people, if they were not cleaned up. A strange thought.

- wslh 14y agoIt would be nice to leave bots playing on those Zynga games ;-)
- Void_ 14y agoMakes me wonder if there will be Facebook or Google in a few decades. I imagine in a few years, when some of the big companies will bankrupt, people will realize they want control over their internet lives. Their data will probably stay in the cloud, but I hope they will be in open format, and maybe people will keep a copy in an implant or something like that. Fun to think about what will be in a few decades. It's unimaginable.
- BHSPitMonkey 14y agoThere are already people who want control over their online lives today. What makes you think that slice of the population will grow significantly? I don't predict the percentage of "technical" people (or rather, people with strong feelings about the issues behind the technologies they use) to ever really change. Most people are simply and unchangeably uninterested in DRM or locked bootloaders or data mining or closed source or how much technical privacy they have.
