If anything's going to replace the current system we've got now, it's got to be voice-activated and correct much more often than it's incorrect.

It does help to have that real world equivalent so that computer concepts make sense to us. I also think it's been around for so very long - even when we had command prompts there were files and folders. Maybe this is a case of if it ain't broke don't fix it. Yeah obviously I agree.

They're comfortable. The reason being is that they're analogous to the physical world we live in. I use Gmail often, but I also do quite often wish it would allow me to organize my mail into folders. Tags are very useful - as an addition to, not a replacement for folders. Digital files & folder may seem antiquated, but they work. They’re comfortable.
