It's one way for people to cope with information overload. Instead of letting the information firehose spray into space, try to store it somewhere. You can certainly store some for future use, but when people get excited about fancy systems it's probably a sign that they should cut down their information input, rather than looking for fancier offloading tools. It's analogous to a scarcity/abundance mindset. The abundance mindset realizes that all the information will still be out there when you need it, so there's no need to hoard. (Information that's specific to yourself is still worth recording.)
