Abstract

Comparison of the characteristics and behaviour of people who are sorting and archiving physical and digital objects. There is limited selection -and also little interest- in tools for classifying digital objects that subsequently allow easy interaction with them or mental reflection while reviewing them. Thanks to the availability of inexpensive computer memory, people tend to save everything without categorizing, and trust -erroneously- only in good retrieval skills. Much more research in personal information management systems (PIM) is needed.
