Navigation easy for our brain
Search is overwhelming

Despite loads of advances in search technologies, why do people prefer to navigate to their files?

 

Folder Navigation uses our primitive brain structure like real-world navigation.

 

Search activates the language processing area of our brain which is a small part of our brain.

 

Through millions of years, our brain has been developped to navigate in the physical world and should be re-used for the digital realm. Language processing area should be freed-up for other tasks than finding files.

 

Thinking Fast Thinking Slow

Daniel Kahneman describes two brain systems: System 1 and System 2.

 

  • System 1 is fast and automatic, handling routine tasks like recognizing faces linked to the primitive part of our brain.
  •  
  •  
  • System 2 is slow and deliberate, used for complex tasks like solving analytical problems linked to the more advanced areas.
  •  
  •  

These systems show how our thinking shifts between quick, intuitive responses and slower, analytical reasoning depending on the situation.

Effects of Folder Structure

Improving navigation time by only a few milliseconds could save large enterprises several working months each day.   Most people stored their data or information in a 3 level folder structure. This takes on average users 15 seconds to retrieve that information.   21 are the maximum number of categories humans tend to remember. More here.
