A data worker focused on the needs of an individual user of a network (e.g., a mobile device of a wireless network) sends data events to destinations so that they will query a particular data source through a data source interface module. Upon an event determined from content obtained from said data source, periodically, on demand, etc., as determined by the individual user, content data is retrieved from a data source under the automatic control of the data worker, and forwarded to the user at one or more destination.
