Default Folders Nonsense

· 141 words · 1 minute read

I have a thought. Default folders which are provided by modern operating systems are nonsense. What are these? On Windows we have My Movies, My Pictures, My Music …etc. Pretty much the same we have on MacOs and Linux — we have Music, Photos, Videos and so on. These types of directories shift the mind of a newcomer to the technological side of view. User starts to think in terms of what media type he deals with and not his problem really is. What if I have some photos from my trip and some text to describe how it was? And maybe a couple of videos? I’m waiting for the OS to just give me a blank home directory so I can organise it however I want. Blog, Code, Cooking, Porn and so on. Time of My %media type% has gone.
