    The Internet remains

    I've been thinking about this for some time. What happens when a person who does great use of the Internet suddenly dies? Can someone access his passwords? Or do his e-mail account, web vault, etc. remain closed somewhere?

    Let's say some famous writer of musician dies. Can the family, or a biographer or publisher recover his correspondence, or whatever he was working on?

    What happens when a blogger dies?

    Sorry if it's depressing, but what interests me are those materials drifting into nothingness. And another thing: how much of the actual Internet is already dead? I mean websites, mail accounts, etc.

    Creepy!
    It don't mean a thing (if ain't got that swing)

    you may want to check with your ISP, but I'd guess inactive accounts/passwords/etc are just automatically deleted after a set period of inactivity. Mine have been in the past.

    There are specially trained hackers to do that job. Passwords can be cracked by 'em and they can retrieve lost files. Of course webpages can not always be brought back.

    That's a question for Bernie: are there still pages online somewhere from the beginning of this site?
