I say 'more power' to David Gelernter and his product to organize information chronologically instead of in files and folders. Or give me the option. Let me store my data on a server where I can access it from anywhere. Let's push the current model.

The next exciting generation for me will be the ability to retrieve data as sound, text, or a combination from my cell phone/PDA or any other terminal and manipulate it any way I want. That would be a server-side application, obviously. (This might be kind of related to media types (via bkdelong on MetaFilter).)

But some of you may be able to school me on other, better options that are out there. Or is Gelernter legit? I know I've read about him before, but I forget what.
