> My mental model of the Web is as a permanent, long-lived store of humanity’s intellectual heritage.
My mental model of the Web is a human brain with all kinds of weird mechanisms - one that forgets things, makes things up, mixes memories. Google is like an "association cortex" - take it away and all the memories are still there but access to them is much harder and needs to go through more indirections (links).
