These are all the questions that Adam Ostrow asked in his TED talk. His topic wasn't something that you usually think about, but in today's world, these are valid questions. After witnessing this myself, I can't say that the profiles are often turned in to memorial pages, then eventually shut down. It seems like a safe idea. Quite frankly, I would feel uncomfortable having one of my deceased friends' profiles left up. I feel that your social networking accounts shouldn't live on unless it with still add to the lives and benefit its readers/followers. If someone wanted to create a seperate memorial page on Facebook, that would be okay for a permanent page. It will allow for healing for the family and friends by posting pictures, writing posts and celebrating that persons. If the person wishes, the family can uphold their internet identity in this way.
