I should have said that the main distinction in the article was less physical v. electronic than "organized by me" v. "arranged by what the provider thinks suits me." That his examples of owner-organized are books and records might derive from the much longer history of physical libraries, personal or not.
- bodge5000 5y agoApologies, I did go a bit off topic. As for the actual topic at hand, I think again its whatever floats your boat. I personally like to organise everything myself, but I know many people who use software or services specifically because the providers works that out for them. I can see the logic in that, and kind of wish I could be a bit more like that, it'd certainly make things easier. Off onto another tangent but somewhat related, it reminds me of the ipad update that came in last week. I was furious about it, it ruined my neatly arranged homescreen and I had to go in again and rethink everything. I asked my younger brother about it, who also owns an ipad, hoping for someone to share in my frustration, but he just thought it was funny. As it turns out, he brought an ipad specifically so he wouldn't have to worry about things like organising his home screen and trying to maintain order. I am who I am, but I do envy that attitude a bit.
