I agree. I heard recently a lot of kids under 20 grew up in an iPhone, iPad, and chrome world and never learned “folder” or directory concepts so it’s a tough transition in the work world. Paper organizers are not nearly as ubiquitous as they once were.
Makes sense. Then you can add some kind of index to the file so you can jump to the parts you want. Just track a list of chunks, so they don’t have to be contiguous.
Yeah, and we could give that huge file some kind of internal and logical structure to find those chunks, maybe something hierarchical with human readable names!
An arrow pointing into a folder, similar to this. Sidesteps the tech issue altogether.
I mean, you’re just replacing one archaic symbol with another.
I still use folders to organize paper documents. Taxes and medical stuff mostly.

We should do away with directories. Just one big block of files.
Screw multiple files, just use one big one. Just append anything you want to add and you’ll have everything in 1 spot

Yeah! Now we’re cooking! I bet we could really improve resiliency and seek times with different data structures, too. B trees?
