The improvements section/conclusion in Aaron Schwartz article is actually very possible today.

>I wish all my hard drives were consolidated onto one big drive. I wish I had SoundSticks. I wish my G1 was much, much faster. I wish that Terminal would have built-in support for screen so that different screens would appear as tabs and it would auto-reconnect. I wish that there was decent todo management software that deeply integrated with my email. I wish that everyone had perfectionist levels of attention to detail.

Phones are much, much faster, NAS’s (synology for example) allow you to merge a whole bunch of drives on a network. And Iterm is integrated with tmux, which makes it feel supremely native.

Not sure about the todo or attention to detail though.

Org mode is a great answer for the todo wish.

I think most “to do” / productivity software integrstes with email these days (ie Asana has plugins for both GMail and Outlook and I think lots do), and slightly related emails has also become more easily “actionable” when Mailbox created the whole “swipe to action” email gestures that Apple and google then learned from etc.
