A
Are you a neat person or a messy（杂乱的）person? Is your desk neat or messy? Bill Brown is interested in studying people’s desks, or “work spaces”, as he calls them. A person’s work space tells you about how he or she organizes work.
Brown says both neat and messy people consider two things in organizing their work space: finding and reminding. Finding means being able to get messages and papers at the time you need them. Reminding means telling you to do things at a certain（某个）time. Brown has noticed that people put things in different places by looking at how important they are and when they will be needed.
Someone asked Brown if it is better to be neat or messy. He said, “Messy people have more problems finding things, but neat people have to spend time keeping their work space neat.”
Brown uses these ideas about workspaces to help him work out how computers should be built. When people use computers, he says, they also have these things in mind: finding and reminding. (184 words)
