I'm early 40s and I don't use bookmarks, the only exception being when I find a random site I'm worried i won't remember that I can't look at right then. This happens <= 2x per year. Otherwise I do the same as your daughter. What do you use bookmarks for?
- Psyladine 4y ago>What do you use bookmarks for? Mostly to keep up a digital backlog to rival the stack of books next to my desk. Occasionally for reference in searching as they're sorted by topic and google search has steadily become wrestling with the algorithm for relevant results.

- version_five 4y agoNot sure if you're relating or trying to mock me. Anyway, your summary is accurate and a very common occurence in my web browsing.
- RjQoLCOSwiIKfpm 4y agoI was trying to answer your question what people use bookmarks for, not to mock you :)
- roarcher 4y agoI use them for research. I've been doing a lot of work with NURBS lately for a side project and I often run across articles and papers that I don't yet understand enough of the math for, or I'm not at the stage of my project where the information will be useful yet. So I bookmark them for later. My problem now is that I have so many bookmarks that it's becoming easier to re-Google the topic than to find that bookmark I swear I made 3 months ago...if only I could restrict a search engine to just my bookmarks...
