A system and method are described for automatically or manually adapting the user interface of a mobile electronic device (“MED”) for a desired persona of the system user. This will permit the system user to provide a desired personal image to the outside world. The ability of a system user to adapt the MED for a system user's persona will include the changing the user interface consistent with the persona the system user desires to represent internally and externally. This will also permit the system user to change the external connections of his/her MED consistent with that persona, which will remain the active persona until the system user decides to change the persona.
