Serious question: what are people keeping so many notes about? I understand if you're a writer, or seriously studying something or involved in some creative pursuit. But I don't get why this resonates with so many everyday people. Maybe I'm just dense. I bookmark a lot of things and clip some things here and there and then, every once in a while, I just delete it all. If it mattered that much, I'd have looked it over or otherwise retained it. I know this comes across as a nihilistic viewpoint, but things just don't matter that much. I think there's a fantasy of "storing up" knowledge and it gives people some false sense of accomplishment. Just my 2c. Let the downvotes commence :P
