We are well into a second age of digital information. Our information is
moving from the desktop to the laptop to the "palmtop" and up into an
amorphous cloud on the Web. How can one manage both the challenges and
opportunities of this new world of digital information? What does the future
hold? This book provides an important update on the rapidly expanding field
of personal information management (PIM). Part I (Always and Forever)
introduces the essentials of PIM. Information is personal for many reasons.
It's the information on our hard drives we couldn't bear to lose. It's the
information about us that we don't want to share. It's the distracting
information demanding our attention even as we try to do something else.
It's the information we don't know about but need to. Through PIM, we
control personal information. We integrate information into our lives in
useful ways. We make it "ours." With basics established, Part I proceeds to
explore a critical interplay between personal information "always" at hand
through mobile devices and "forever" on the Web. How does information stay
"ours" in such a world?
