Digital Legacy Prototype

Slide 4

Definition

A digital legacy can be understood as the online traces, memories, messages, and memorial spaces that remain after someone dies.

A familiar hook

The original slide suggested a strong visual prompt, and the prototype specifically named RIP.ie as something familiar to many Irish audiences. That makes it a useful example of digital legacy already embedded in everyday life.

Online memorial pages, condolence books, tribute notices, and remembrance posts show that digital legacy is not an abstract idea. It is already part of how communities remember and communicate.
