The bigger issue here is that phones and touchscreen devices in general encourage informational passivity.
They invite you to consume, not to do research & creative knowledge work (breaking down informational sources, combining disparate pieces of info from different sources, reconstituting)

See, I think this is exactly the reason kids need to learn file systems, both analog and digital.
Creative knowledge work isn't just knowing how to FIND information, it's understanding how to organize and sort & reconstitute information in new ways.
Systematic categorization is a key part of that.

But, as the article points out, if everything has a search function now, doesn’t that render the concept of folders obsolete? Why do they need to learn to use an outdated filing system?

I wrote about this recently for Noema! That time was also defined by the fruits of an activist, interventionist and progressive government — one that changes the market, not with tariffs, but with research and guidelines that make life in consumer society better. www.noemamag.com/the-good-soc...

Once upon a time, there was a federal government department that helped design and distribute tools for living the good life. What happened to that vision?

Was looking at the #bevy 0.16 milestone last night. really cool stuff in there. I toyed with the new relationship derive attributes and the new spawn APIs -- such huge convenience boosts

a major issue with video games is that they produce a bunch of people who consider themselves brain geniuses for solving problems that were designed to be solvable. as a remedy, we should be making more games that are actively and irreconcilably hostile to the player. thank you

I still have to confirm this but it looks optically right and yall…this is insane.
james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country
"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

David is completely right here. I think this is also why there's so much distrust & resentment of institutions in general. There is a constant claim that institutions are a bulwark, that they must be saved/preserved/respected and yet many of them either fold to power or can't provide accountability
One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.
Dereliction of responsibility by the court. It is so flagrantly illegal. www.huffpost.com/entry/us-wis...

Along with all of the other things that this is, it is also the direct & inevitable consequence of the failure to put a lot more senior executive branch officials in jail for a very long time for Watergate, Iran-Contra, torture, & all of the other things in the last 50 years.
Boasberg: So the president's foreign-affairs power exists once the plane crosses but not before that?
US: That's when his power is at its strongest
Boasberg: The president has extra powers over a plane once it's crossed into international territory?
