Sure, ones and zeros are more accurate, but that's not what I meant. What idiom would you recommend in place of "bookmarking" a page in your ereader, since there's no actual bookmark? What idiom would you recommend in place of folders to organize your files, since there's no actual folder? Digital is digital, there's no "stuff" so we use the old stuff to represent the new stuff.
