Virtual Goods: Why they exist

My close brush

My senior year in high school I got extremely addicted to an embarrassing Zynga Facebook game. No, not Farmville. Mafia Wars.

Why was I into a game that killed people, harvested cocaine or ran illegal auto part shops? I have no idea. I claim temporary mental instability.

Your digital life doesn’t die when you do

If die before I wake,

I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Guide and guard me through the night

and have my last tweet take flight.


Let’s be blunt

What happens when you die? Well, there’s the few obvious ones. Your heart has stopped beating and you’re either in the ground or in a pot.

But, what happens to all you’ve done in life? All you’ve created? All the tweets, all the updates, the email accounts, the Pinterest boards, etc. What happens to it all?

It. Stays.
