Executive Summary
The personal cloud—a cloud-based virtual computer controlled by an individual—is looking as inevitable as the personal computer was in the 1980’s. But while new applications like spreadsheets and word processors drove the adoption of personal computers, it will be new communications capabilities that drive the adoption of personal clouds. Links between personal clouds—called a personal channel—can simplify, automate, filter, and protect communications in ways that have never been possible before. Personal channels combine the best features of email with the best features of social networks while eliminating key drawbacks of both. They will also introduce new levels of security, privacy, and control over personal data that will enable trusted relationship management between people and organizations everywhere.
