In what form should we preserve these digital diary entries?"

As we shift from leaving physical artifacts to virtual ones—bits rather than atoms—what will replace the shoeboxes full of photos and the stack of vinyl records that connect us with our past? How will our new digital heirlooms change the way we reminisce and...
