The real questions are: Does it solve a problem? Is it serviceable? How is it going to look in ten years?

Personal accounts don't solve that problem,

To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number, to the specialist of an enlightened matter, to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need.

If explicit metadata is a real problem, it raises problems that just can't be solved. It's not that we're not good at it; it's the problems cannot be solved because we're not going to agree about these deep questions of how we organize.

Never solve a problem from its original perspective.

That may solve the problem.
