So, what is it that makes us, us ?
![Page 5: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
These are all parts of ‘Us’
What we say and do, the things we make, what we express.
![Page 6: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Taking this idea of how we define ourselves.
who we are does not stop at the edge of our skin

‘Consciousness is not restricted to the brain.’ ‘Consciousness is the function of an organism, not an organ.’
Pepperell

The human organism is changing.
For millions of years we have been augmenting our physical abilities
![Page 9: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
After we started augmenting our physical abilities we started on our mental abilities

Originally we extended our lives by writing & publishing static, analogue data
Now we create active, digital data that is fluid and alive.
Increasingly our lives are being lived and expressed digitally.

What happens next ?
Since before history mankind has asked the question
![Page 12: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ideas and references to it are everywhere around us, in art, language, literature, culture and philosophy
We want and need an afterlife
![Page 13: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
We can still interact with something of them but their legacy personalities are ‘passive’ like the media they used to extend themselves.
Previous generations have lived on after their deaths though the extensions of their selves they
generated during their lives.

Digital is not by its nature a passive medium
The Digital Afterlife ?

ownership of our data is currently problematic but significant efforts are underway to consolidate and
bring personal data under our own control
![Page 16: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
focused on semantics and interoperability
![Page 17: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“People lie. People are lazy. People are stupid, know thyself is a tall order and people are
notoriously poor at describing themselves and their own behaviour. Schemas aren't neutral.
Metrics influence results. There's more than one way to describe something”
Cory Doctorow
Unfortunately for the semantic web…

We are beginning to externalise preferences in a dynamic way
![Page 19: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Simple emergent behaviour is already happening
![Page 20: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In the future ideas of a digital afterlife are ever-present.

Take control of your own information
Short term
![Page 22: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
aggregate and collate personal information in a useful way
Mid term
![Page 23: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Long term
‘Digital natives’ are born into this analogue/digital way of being.
![Page 24: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The current generation of digital natives have new perceptions…
![Page 25: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
…of the personal, social, political, economic and even the physical.
![Page 26: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Why not also the corporeal ?
![Page 27: Things to do in the Digital Afterlife when you're dead](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554dd1d8b4c905c70e8b484e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Not as continuity…
…but as metamorphosis
