@hobu @nelson Lol! Filenames matter when files get old, which means the human is older too. So yeah. Filenames matter. Because they're often all that persists!

@nelson look at the bright side: it's practically impossible for another file with the same name to exist

@tomjennings @nelson I cannot get my kids to think about filenames. "Ask the computer to tell you what's in the picture" is their response when I ask about how they know what's in a file.Pictures are the closest they ever get to the concept of files these days.
