in reply to Your Meetings with your computer

I was reading about Donald Knuth (Author of Art of Programming), and was interesting to read that he stopped to have an email address since 1990 (yep, Ninety) and preferes snail mail compare to email.

Knuth is reported to have said of this that email helps him stay on top of things, but that he prefers to stay on the bottom of things, which requires an attention span that email often precludes.

    Hi Dws
    It's a good point.
    I would say my experience is that for many things we don't actively decide whether we want to stay on the top of the things or bottom of the things. A little self-research would help a lot.
