The Data Protection Act means that much of the information that we currently generate will be destroyed as a matter of legal imperative.

Non maintained websites will go offline and the archive lost forever

We will leave incredibly little behind us compared to previous generations.

Nowadays, if a person dies a lonely death, the council will only take an interest in their stuff so far as it relates to locating someone to pay the bills. They are not allowed to sell effects, so most unclaimed personal effects end up in a skip

It makes me sad :(

I hate the idea that any records get destroyed.

Imagine how hard it will be to track marriage records with so many marrying abroad!!

Think how many passenger lists there will be by 2050 for planes as well as ships!! (I personally have been on 6 planes this year!)

Wilson in the Lancaster area
Clegg in Todmorden
Adamson in Edinburgh
Miller in Edinburgh
Nunn in Norfolk and Co Durham
Smith in Glasgow
Haig in Peebles/Edinburgh
Also Nelson, Gardener, Garnett, Blair, Coleman, Aaronson and many more as the branches expand!

But will such lists be retained?  Or will they just be yet another casualty of this disposably digital age?

Most probably they won't be kept but imagine if they were!

hi Buckaroo.
   By that time the world will be overpopulated, every body will be on IVF and having 6 babies ( not just 2 as now)
   The male will  be an unwanted troublesome inconvenience, gone will be the days that love means anything. Just think you may well be even an asexually produced descendant identical to the original utterly foolish person that started to violate the law of nature in the first place! Great for the Genealogist?

Yes, IVF will be a real problem for people tracing ancestors.  There may also be cloning by then.  How will the family tree software cope with that?

We were married in Cyprus, so they won't find my marriage.
I will appear on the census with new surname, but no proof of marriage.
That will confuse them  ;D
