How a person will be remembered by others.

The portraits of great Men and Women of history hang on the walls of galleries.

Their legacy is recorded in the paintings and the accompanying text written by another person in another time.

The tools to document legacy were different in the past, conventional methods included paintings and writings. It was often upto Society to record the accomplishments & failings of an Individual.

Now In the 21st Century we have the tools that enable us to document our accomplishments and failings; to shape our own legacy.

Modern technology has lowered the barrier to entry of legacy transmission through the generations. Technology can be used to shape ones own legacy and check the authenticity of others.

Technology also allows me to superimpose lemons onto this mans face 🍋
