The power of CLOUD comes not only from its ability to bring together ME across your various life domains from health to education to finance and beyond but its ability to put you back in the center of your health decisions. In the midst of the national debate over healthcare, we can not lose sight of the fact that health is about you. ME 1.0 can help both you and the healthcare system achieve that goal.

To address the vexing issues of privacy, security and data and their impact on issues from corporate actions to securities to payment systems and beyond, we must reweave the fabric of the Internet. The Internet is not an electronic courier service, and without physical locations, my identity and data are part of a fabric and not a specific location.  Our use of verbs like move, send and log-in are clear indicators of how we are trapped by our current 2-dimensional view of the Internet. CLOUD's evolving contextual markup language provides the framework for this new fabric for finance.

The power of CLOUD comes not only from its ability to bring together ME across your various life domains from education to finance to health and beyond but its ability to put you back in the center of a lifelong learning paradigm. As the immunizations white paper at health.cloudinc.org makes clear, ME 1.0 not only empowers control substantial changes in learning but integrates it into a much broader CLOUD.

Bringing CLOUD's new language to our interactions with government will unleash the power of meGovernment and not just eGovernment. Current approaches to eGovernment simply substitute blue links on a web page for the old blue pages in the phone book. A language for ME can change this, while simultaneously embedding transparency into the fabric of governance and government globally.

The ultimate power of CLOUD will be expressed through our creation of CTML (context markup language). As we begin the journey to ME 1.0 and CTML, this section of the CLOUD website will discuss our perspectives on current standards, how CTML differs from these standards, how CTML would interact with these standards, as well as the multidimensional aspects of CTML. From WHO I Am™ to WHAT I Am™ to WHEN I Am™ to WHERE I Am™, the future of the Internet will be wrapped around people.

EHRs: There is no There There on the Internet

Just over a year ago at the Personal Democracy Forum in NYC, I posted an item to my personal blog at theendoflinearity.com on this topic, the idea that there are no destinations on the Internet.   Having wrestled with…
