  Synopsis Details Reviews  
What will we leave behind in this new digital age? As digital technology takes an ever-increasing role in our lives, one question is how we'll manage our collections after we're gone. What takes the place of shoeboxes full of pictures and dog-eared record albums? Get an inside look at Microsoft researcher Richard Banks's thinking about how we might manage the digital artifacts and content we're creating now - and how we might pass on or inherit these kinds of items in the future. About the Microsoft Research Series At Microsoft Research, we're driven to imagine and to invent. Our desire is to create technology that helps people realize their full potential, and to advance the state of the art in computer science. The Microsoft Research series shares the insights of Microsoft researchers as they explore the new and the transformative.
