  • What Happens to Your Digital Footprint When You Die?
    Feb 18 2025
    Many of us have seen this happen. Someone dies IRL, but their online presence lives on. It’s estimated that millions of accounts on Facebook belong to people who have died. And many of us have so many online accounts, it’s hard to keep track of them ourselves – let alone leaving that work to loved ones after we’re gone. So, what “digital remains” are we leaving behind when we die? And how do we ensure our loved ones have the tools to manage it? Psychologist Elaine Kasket walks us through how to think about all the data that does not get buried with you. Elaine is the author of All The Ghosts in the Machine: The Digital Afterlife of Your Personal Data. As discussed in the episode, more guidelines on this are available on the Digital Legacy Associations’ website. And here’s how you can set up legacy contacts for your Meta, Google, and Apple accounts. What questions do you have about the technology in your life? Email us at CNNTermsofService@Gmail.com.

    Since the dawn of match.com in 1995, people have had a lot of questions about how online dating would change the experience of falling in love. But that was 30 years ago, and it was only the beginning of a total sea change in the way we date. Now, artificial intelligence is promising to switch things up in the dating world once more. And just like in 1995, we’re left wondering—what does all of this mean for the future of dating? Marketing professional Grace Clarke shares how she has used AI in her dating life, and AI expert Liesel Sharabi explains how this technology is changing dating apps, and the people who use them.

  • Do Young People Need Smartphones? A Parent and a Teen Weigh In.
    Feb 4 2025
    It’s become the norm for teens and tweens to have smartphones — but lately, the pendulum has been swinging back. Parents and educators worry smartphones can cause distraction, loneliness and other mental health challenges among young people. So when is the right time to give your kid a smartphone, if at all? Mark SooHoo, a parent involved with the organization Wait Until 8th, shares why he and his wife are holding off until at least high school. Plus, high school senior and Luddite Club co-founder Jameson Butler explains why she ditched her smartphone altogether.  If you’ve had to navigate this conversation with your kids, I’d love to hear how it went. You can reach us by email at CNNTermsofService@Gmail.com. Learn more about your ad choices.
