> And instead of creating documents — a sort of heavyweight work product — a lot of what we work with on our computers now are fragments: URLs and meme gifs that we copy paste between windows or chats, a PDF that we download to print out or fill in and email. Data that we copy from one spreadsheet to another. Photos from the phone that we crop so we can upload somewhere else. Video clips of toddler nieces doing something cute. So this reminds me an awful lot of Apple's OpenDoc initiative from the late '90s. Such a shame Jobs pulled the plug on it when he returned. It also reminded me a bit of Microsoft and KDE doing stuff with COM/OLE and KParts/KIO, though OpenDoc always came off as way more ambitious than those.
