Samuel, fair point, but I think that media in a business environment is a different issue – this framework deals more with individuals’ engagement with media in their own time and space.
Yes it is also a question of trying to fit it all in – an earlier draft also included ‘car’ and ‘theatre’ as well – car now falls into the mobile space, and theatre will be in another framework sometime :-)

Thank you very much for putting this together and sharing. The discussion about the home of the future is fascinating. All of it is helpful.

Thanks for sharing! This framework clearly stressed the lifecycle of media instead of the one-directional media of the past.
Of course you can’t fit in everything, but I was wondering: shouldn’t ‘business’ also be added (besides ‘home’ and ‘mobile’)? Or should it be ‘home/business’ assuming that these are blurring?

Thanks Vishal, Paul.
Definitely agree on the social cloud – was playing around with how to show something like that, but there are limits to what you can fit into one diagram! :-) Perhaps the next one.

I like your ‘personalised cloud’ concept Ross. And yet there seems to be more than that. Reading your posting led to my thinking about the ‘social cloud’.
Seems to me that FriendFeed is a social cloud…and being social is essentially more human.

This is a gr8 work Ross. Personal cloud is definitely and interesting trend (similar to federated identity in early 2000’s.
I think rest is more or less obvious.
