{2.2a2b1} note-making is the future of information creation and consumption
topics:
“Note-making“ is a very limiting term here ({4.2} the limitations of pkm language), but the idea is that we are — or should be — moving toward short-form, thought- / idea-based content online.
This is a key assumption in how I’m thinking about the web.
Rather than siloed, chronological feeds, netizens would benefit from tools that encourage non-linear thinking (e.g, knowledge graph), non-linear publishing (e.g, digital gardens), and non-linear consumption and learning (e.g, maybe reader-generated essays?).
I think this is so powerful because it opens the door to more deeply connected information online. Not only would we be able to consume information in a more healthy and constructive way, but we could build something highly adaptable (see notes in is the dream of a universal taxonomy is dead), highly networked between publishers, and allows for more collaborative thinking.
The future of content is the knowledge graph.
(Think it’s important to point out that Bram Adams talks about the zettelkasten specifically, but I’m thinking about it more broadly — networked video, audio, etc…)
