Abstract: An individual-centric Internet is provided with a personal base process on a computer system. The computer system is equipped with multiple nodes that are interconnected to facilitate the communication between the nodes. The personal base service includes a personal base instance that is typically in software on at least one of the nodes of the computer system, such as a network. The personal base instance is designed to communicate with a user by any digital or analog device, such as a telephone, personal computer, personal digital assistant, or the like. A personal base server is instantiated on at least one of the nodes on the computer system and is in operative communication with the personal base instance. The personal base server is used to communicate with other personal bases or other nodes on the computer system or network in order to insulate the user from other elements of the computer system.
