Today it seems that everyone is online. People not only have their own blogs and social networking pages, but they also have active online businesses as well. This means that most people are computer literate and interested in communicating through digital media.
This trend in communication has dramatically changed how people interact with one another, even family members. Families that would ordinarily loose touch with each other are now making weekly or even daily contact with each other through such platforms as Facebook and MySpace. For people interested in passing on their culture, traditions and philosophies this is wonderful news.
Traditionally spiritual ethical wills have been written down on paper. They took the form of essay, letters and statements. Today, these formats are still viable, however, they are a bit outdated.
Digital ethical wills are a great option for families that want to create something that can be viewed by the entire family, regardless of where they are in the world. Families can create a main family website where individual family members can contribute their personal ethical wills, or individuals can create their own digital spiritual ethical will and send out invitations for family members to visit their site.
There are several ways that an online ethical will can be formatted. The first option is to create an ethical will blog. This blog can dedicated entries to specific themes and topics.
The second option is to create a freeform essay on the website. This essay can have links to family photographs and other documents.
The third option is to create a multimedia presentation that is uploaded to the website. For example, an audio file or a video file can be embedded in the website on the page with information that the person wants to pass on. This is a great option for preserving family stories and memories as well.

The surge in ethical wills clearly shows that more people are concerned about passing on life’s values to their descendants rather than only worldly things and property.
The Internet provides the Code of Ethics subscribed to by Christian web sites, NazNet being one of them. But when I try to get into that site to read the NazNet Christian Code of Ethics, I am forbidden.
