multitude of reasons: * We operate on gigantic sets of data (not from CS perspective, average human consumes more data in 10 years than avg man in his lifetime only few decades ago) * Reasoning about data is not easy, and storing what matters is crucial in being effective worker/citizen/parent/etc. * Promo of zettelkasten * Good money too?
