I also like that you point out that quote from Stolley’s piece that leaning one markup language introduces you to the general concept. I was so insanely confused when we started talking about Markdown and couldn’t even grasp what it was but after learning that I finally feel like I kind of(ish) understand how computers and websites work. At least in a very broad sort of vague way. Before it was kind of just like, “Don’t know don’t care.”

You said, “Becoming aware of why we are the way we are is the first step in changing, in being better, and I think I can apply this concept in a way that helps people.” You then said you had to think about the specifics, but I am curious to know in what ways you think changing mental models can help people. What kind of mental models do you think we should moving towards?

This is all coming from someone who thinks the older models- like the filing cabinet- still make plenty of sense and should continue to make sense regardless of the fact that we are moving towards an almost strictly digital work environment in many places.
