I disagree with the premise. Sure, you don't need to cross-off each and everything in your bookmarks, but they are an excellent way when you want to read something mildly interesting. > Knowledge is an expiring asset, you might remember a few things now, but, slowly gradually, you’ll be at a point where you remember nothing of it and it’s just like you never read it. In which case, when you need that information you will go and read it and you will then, read more documents around the subject, you will be in the context that’s why you’ll remember it(for a long time). This is a really bad assumption. Sure, you won't remember most of it, but a few ideas here and there are enough to store a hook in your memory which will be useful when you need the knowledge. Like, I have only a very superficial idea about color theory, but I do recall a long, well-written article on the subject that I read here on HN. If I do regain an interest in the subject, I will search and read it again, and the knowledge will come back to me more efficiently vs if I had not read it at all.
