At first, I thought you meant a divide between UIs where time-on-site goes down (AI tools that minimize human input) or goes up (clickbait, attention hacking, etc).

It might be more that preservation benefits from "replication and retention" in any form. Digital vs paper is kind of an orthogonal axis! worrydream.com/TheWebOfAlex...

It's easy to mock that article, but for most people who don't habitually decap their chips, computers are indeed unknowably-complex black boxes that must be taken on faith, and for a generation who grew up with transparent, fully-understandable tools, that was a great loss. I'm very sympathetic.

Toby had started on a 2D version of a similar idea, a while back. Sketch a CAD drawing on paper, draw constraint annotations, it reprints the drawing with constraints applied, repeat. dynamicland.org/archive/2015...
