The internet as a public domain is only three decades old. However, with widespread adoption and more recent phenomena due to technological advances such as distributed ledger technology (including “blockchain” technology), the reality that this digital life is becoming a central part of day to day living and business cannot be ignored. As more and more people use the internet to communicate and socialise, manage their bank accounts and purchase goods and services they are creating their own digital legacy.
