This article reminds me of some of the thoughts from the "As We May Think" paper by Vannevar Bush back in the mid-1940s[0]...not as an insult, just that in our modern times, it seems we have some new but still some old challenges around ready access to actionable/useful info. I am a fan of the fragments idea. I constantly have a "scratch" note file open where I save all manner of text for me to re-use/refer to later on. Sort of something between a clipboard and an actual document...of course this falls far short of something really useful; plus can't copy/paste an image into the file. (And, no, I'm not going to use Word or some file like that because it doesn't work with the rest of my workflow.) Anyway, i sympathize with this article.
