Britons leave internet passwords in wills
A growing number of Britons are including their internet passwords in their wills so that their family and friends can access and save their personal data on sites such as Facebook after they die, says a new report.

Neurologist Robert Sapolsky puts an interesting twist on this old story, though. What if it isn’t the burst of dopamine that we get addicted to, but the anticipation of a burst of dopamine? It’s a small distinction. But it matters, he says, if our reward system is based less on happiness than on the pursuit of happiness. (via What reward does your brain actually seek? – Boing Boing)

Identity Is Prismatic
“The portrait of identity online is often painted in black and white,” Poole said. “Who you are online is who you are offline.” That rosy view of identity is complemented with a similarly oversimplified view of anonymity. People think of anonymity as dark and chaotic, Poole said. But human identity doesn’t work like that online or offline. We present ourselves differently in different contexts, and that’s key to our creativity and self-expression. “It’s not ‘who you share with,’ it’s ‘who you share as,’” Poole told us. “Identity is prismatic.
This was not the first time Phillips encountered ethical quandaries in transmedia. Her interest in this issue began in 2001, after finishing an alternate reality game called The Beast. Shortly after the game ended, a smart, empowered, close-knit group of players behind who call themselves “Cloudmakers” were faced with the events of September 11.
