An iPad may be a good journaling companion but I wonder, what happens a decade or two down the road if the author dies. Family are unlikely to come across their entries as they would a notebook, blog or even a social media account. Does anyone worry about this? We live in an impermanent world, paper journals can be damaged, digital files deleted. How do we save who we are before we’re gone. Does it even matter? Who would care to read this fifty years from now when I’ve turned to dust? As it is someone would need my passcode, the battery and software work. That’s very unlikely. My iPod from 15 years ago probably doesn’t function. The fact I don’t know is already evidence of the impermanence of thought.
