Published:22 October 2018Publication History

ABSTRACT

The current society produces and consumes large amounts of digital content. Each person accumulates throughout her live a set of digital items that will constitute her own Digital Legacy. In addition, we observe different studies about future data management and post-mortem data. In this research, we have analyzed the perspective of 10 brazilian young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 about the possibility of give posthumous destination to their own digital assets. We selected a real system (Afternote), we did a systematic analysis of the system and conducted a study with the young adults in which they explore the system and share their view about it in a semi-structured interview. To structure the analysis and exploration, we used Digital Legacy Management System (DiLeMa) framework. Our results generate contributions to the consolidation of the framework, as well as to the design and analysis of Digital Legacy systems.
