I don’t think knowledge work is limited by the 'flat screen.' Mathematics, for instance, has long been done on flat surfaces like paper, yet this hasn’t prevented us from grasping abstract concepts like multidimensionality and infinity. While using senses can aid cognition and develop the brain, the problem isn’t the flatness of the tool but how effectively we organize our thinking. The key is in structuring thought, whether in 2, 3, 4 dimensions or no dimensions at all.
The list of tasks like 'Recall' and 'Store' also overlooks the role of intuition and subconscious processing in knowledge work. Much of our creative problem-solving happens outside of conscious awareness, where ideas form and connect without deliberate effort. This integration and processing go beyond simple recall or storage, playing a central role in reasoning and innovation. These aspects of cognition should be considered when evaluating how we do knowledge work.
