Best Paper Companies To Watch In Right Now

Earlier this week, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG  ) announced a new feature to allow its users to predetermine what happens to all of their Google data when they die. The service is called Inactive Account Manager (an�admittedly boring name, according to the company), and although the settings don't have to go into effect only when you pass away, it makes you wonder what does happen to our data when we go away.

More than a gimmick
In the old days, all of our most important documents -- licenses, wills, and the like -- were stored in a safe in our house, or a safe deposit box at the bank. Nowadays, most of our documents, bank information, passwords, wills, and other important information is stored on our computers or online. Sure, some of us still have lots of paperwork bulging out of a box somewhere in the closet, but those days are numbered.

In today's world, we have pictures, videos, documents, emails, texts, online profiles, status updates, tweets, and whatever else floating around online. Maybe you don't care what happens to all this data after your time is done, and that's a valid argument, but it's likely that someone will. Loved ones and friends will be left to sort all that junk out. They'll be the ones shutting down accounts, sifting through Dropbox to find your will, downloading pictures of memories with you, and other sad things we don't like to think about.�
