There are lots of new ideas... if you know where to look ;-) The problem is that, being new, they are neither widely distributed nor as well refined as the old ones.
Keep an eye on 'modern note taking' productivity tools in the orbit of 'second brain' or 'networked thought'; they are upgrading many of the principles of the Canon Cat to the current networked environment, and follow through on the spirit of the classic "augmenting the human intelect" dream.
I believe they have the potential to replace the outdated desktop metaphor, and offer a digitally native metaphor for information processing and productiviy.

- TuringTest 5y agoIt's better to do an internet search for those terms, and look at what catches your eye according to your interests. There are many players pushing for their own understanding on how to reach that goal, and I would not promote any one over the others (especially as they all seem to be a bit unripe right now). Look for modern notetaking apps (Notion, Obsidian, logseq, Airtable, Roam Research... and "alternatives to" any of those) to see what style of knowledge management I'm talking about (there are two main varieties - the "outliner" and the "user-friendly relational database", with a lot of overlap between them).
