... FOR POSTERITY

I've had to write a journal of my thought form each class of Managing Information Technology. Here are my ramblings on Web Services Architecture

In this class I had a thought about how I could ensure that my life is recorded for all time. With the advent of portals and IT architecture moving online I thought I could try to put all the knowledge and experiences of my life on a portal. Everything on my life could be on this portal and I would invite companies who want to deal with me to this site and integrate with my site. For instance, this week I’ve had to switch my driver’s license, auto registration and auto insurance from BC to Ontario. If my portal had all the information they required I could give them a username and password that would give them a certain level of permission and they could go in and their system could talk to mine. The system could send a bunch of queries and if any sensitive information came up I would get an email to authorize it. This portal could hold all my medical history, my school transcripts as well as all my photos and video tapes. It would be a dynamic archive of my life. Queens system could talk with my portal and constantly be updating my marks and my system would calculate my progress in each course. In could also help in on-campus recruiting as a potential company could troll my portal and determine if I fit their screening criteria. Every report I ever wrote for work would be on the portal as well as all my expenses. Once DNA is sequenced a record of my DNA could also be placed on the record. Upon my death my obituary would be recorded and uploaded to the database and my portal would connect with the cemetery and let people know my final resting place. There would be links to my family and friends and in this way my life would live on well past my death. My great great grandchild could have a link to my portal in their portal and family medical history could be pulled up. It would be “life architecture” and it would change the way people live their lives.
