Composting knowledge, I like this. I find that with papers, books, audio CDs, video game cartridges, etc., it is easier to filter, to know what you have, and to get rid of what you don't use as you go. In some ways, the default of a physical medium is loss, and you have to put in some non-zero, repeat effort to retain it. In contrast, the default of digital media is retention, sometimes even in spite of efforts against (think trying to remove data from social media). Every Apple Note, iCloud Photo, browsing history, bookmark, etc. will continue to persist unless you make an effort to get rid of it. So, the challenge for me, is not so much how do I retain all this digital data, but how do I ONLY retain the bits that are relevant, and how do I cull those bits occasionally?
