Fun and interesting read; WSJ Book Review 'A Place for Everything'

I had several thoughts while reading this fun and interesting book review. First: I wouldn't have even thought of making a Zettel Note entitled: History of Alphabetical Order. Second: by the end of the article I've decided I'm not going "deep" enough into my subjects. Ms. Powers' closing comment, discussing barcodes, and other search engine algorithms: "The upshot is that centuries of effort to render knowledge universally accessible have culminated in a system that stores information in a form which no human eye, unaided by machine, can decipher."
