The system can gather all the metadata for you, storing a snapshot of the context when you decide to take notes. The context can be the web page you are looking at, the podcast, or if it was raining. It could even be a description of the girl that was waiting at the bus stop. Anything that helps you recall.
I’m not sure if this can be completely automatic. My intuition is that these things, to work as our external memory, require some effort spent to ‘be wired.’
I’ll have a look at the Exo-Brain diagram! I would rename ‘Exo-memory’… exo-brain sounds quite scary.
