You seem to have implicitly made a jumbled mass of claims without supporting any of them. I can't quite tell what claims. It seems you contend that you need more complicated solutions for a better task tracking solution than paper or text files can offer. At some point, you reach the point of not getting any more marginal utility by making your planning system more complicated. The mental energy you put into the dealing with the machinery of your task tracking system could go into actually solving the problem. Bill Gates, shockingly, built Microsoft without a GTD planner. Trump became president of the united states without one. I don't find this premise at all convincing. Paper, as mentioned by the article, can stimulate different parts of the brain. No app can match that. You seem to react with shock to the notion without addressing the actual shortcomings in any constructive way.

I can walk all the way to Argentina. Does that make planes any less useful? > Paper, as mentioned by the article, can stimulate different parts of the brain. No app can match that. Bullshit. > You seem to react with shock to the notion without addressing the actual shortcomings in any constructive way. I can't believe nobody has managed to tackle perhaps the most important problem (GTD) using computers. I truly can't accept that this is true. I must be missing something. You are correct. My comment was not constructive at all. There's nothing I want more than a discussion about making the world better through proper GTD tools.
