Identity in the Age of Cloud Computing
- Share to:
Identity—the very essence of who we are and how we interact with others—is in the middle of a period of extraordinary tumult. The Internet and a host of new communications technologies have transformed the concept of identity and redefined our relationships to businesses, governments and constantly churning networks of friends and peers. Growing numbers of digital natives now define themselves by their Web presence as well as their real-world presence. Indeed, they move seamlessly from their online to offline lives, and they expect to assert who they are on their own terms. Call it the audacity of self-identity. I am whatever I say I am. Now couple that notion of empowerment, enabled by a growing suite of Web 2.0 tools, with the cloud—our shorthand for a vast, always- on, accessible, broadband-enabled next-generation Internet that is fast approaching. The cloud holds out transform active possibilities for culture, commerce, national security, public life and personal interactions on a scale we are only beginning to fathom.
