Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze domestic and international digital autobiography cases and to propose a writing stage that can make use of the role and significance of digital autobiography. The study focuses on the digital autobiography writing process of the New Silver Generation, focusing on the internal changes and meanings that occur before and after the writing process. For this study, we first reviewed the writer of digital autobiography, the purpose of writing, and the theoretical background of the linguistic form. Based on the results, evaluation criteria and items were selected to analyze the digital autobiography cases. Three cases of online autobiography platforms and three training programs for video autobiography were analyzed. According to the results, we suggest a three-stage writing process. The first stage is the pre-writing, where the life review happens. The writer evaluates and synthesizes the unresolved conflicts. It is an important and essential process of finding the meaning of the life. In the next stage, the original story plot is constructed through authentic writing and the form should be planned. The final stage is to express the meaning of life through digital media. We hope that the results of this study will be helpful in designing educational programs using digital autobiography not only for the New Silver Generation but also those who need self-integrity.
