Focus on Reading Content and Context, Not Dates
When reading, the focus should be on the content rather than the date it was written. Even though language may change over time, the key is to read and understand the material rather than making quick judgments. It's essential to tap into tacit knowledge, understanding things deeply even if they can't be explicitly expressed. The idea of removing dates from web content is gaining traction, with the argument that timeless quality should matter more than the specific date of publication. Providing contextual knowledge without explicit dates can enhance the reader's experience and encourage revisits to the content. Embracing the dynamic nature of online content, where updates and revisions are possible, offers a new perspective beyond the static nature of printed materials.
