True unless you already know it.

I think most writers like to look for better methods to use. If nothing else it eases some of the tedium of just slogging through the detail oriented tasks of background material, research of various kinds, etc.

Google makes it easier in one way gathering a lot of info, but it then is difficult to select what to keep.

You can spend too much time on the detail and then that tires you for the important tasks.

It would be interesting to see programs that writers use divided or rated into groups like:

outline
visual
note-cards
idea
theme
story lines/boards
timelines
etc.
