Another underlying aspect is the dimensionality:

  • Paper is 2D
  • IRL items are 3D
  • webpages are... you'd be tempted to say "2D", but look at the links, in how many directions one can move across webpages... they're n-D!

Going from nD to 3D, is a step back, and even when people don't realize it consciously, they'll keep falling back to the superior webpage solution.

Until someone puts the nD mobility into 3D worlds, there is no chance for them to take over.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
