It was just an example used by Steve Jobs to show how computers could enhance human capabilities.

Also, using a SRS in conjunction with a memory palace can solve a lot of the reference issues you’re describing.

this combo technique sounds useful, is it something like reviewing memory palaces with spaced repetition, instead of reviewing standalone information?

Memory palaces are often recommended for reference-type information, so I think this would work well. There are a number of discussions on Art of Memory talking about this:
