I quite like Bill Thompson's columns on the experience of digital technology over at the BBC. He is not simply a booster. This one on the need to come up with classification structures or risk the equivalent of the void - cacophony - is useful:

I set up a rich and complicated hierarchy of folders and subfolders, with separate locations for projects, writing and personal e-mails. Now I've lost the discipline and instead I have a dozen or so folders, none of which I keep up to date by moving messages into them. I could switch back, but now Windows has Desktop Search which does the same as Spotlight, so I still wouldn't be under the same pressure to keep my filing up to date. And it's clear that it was only the lack of a lazy alternative that kept me honest.

What will happen when even the geeks can't keep up with it all? Is there a horizon of foolishness like the horizon of gravity around a black hole beyond which there is no return. After all, all we asked for was a way to sort out recipes on a screen, right?
