This feels like an important question, with a good "grand perspective" on the whole thing we find ourselves embedded into every day...

There’s a bottleneck here: our interfaces haven’t evolved to handle the flood of information that’s overflowing our minds. Our interfaces have been feeding us, but don’t allow for any digesting.

How can we use the web as a medium to think, not over months or years, but over a lifetime? How do you create context from an infinitely rotating roster of indistinguishable tabs?

ive always thought things like indexing, heirarchy, curation, and visualization were a big part of the cure for thinking of the web as a chaos of infinite links. the problem of distraction described just feels like having too many books again.
