Rationale
I have become unsatisfied with keeping my notes and ideas within the structure provided by modern media. I often have ideas on themes in my life that I might have written on a "note to self" before. If it was really important, I put a reminder in my calendar to work on it later. If it was a lot of information or writing, I might have written it in a file and stored it under an appropriate hierarchy of folders in one of my hard disks.
Problems with other forms
- Notebooks aren't easily searchable.
- Files can't have update-able links between each other.
- Notebooks and hard drives can be destroyed or stolen.
- I may not always have access to a word processor or even a notebook.
