       Is there any database research where the storage medium is optimized for a physical box of cards, possibly handwritten? The box could be represented digitally, but I/O commands would be centered around writing things (with a pen?) to cards, maybe as instructions a human could follow. You could virtualize queries, but it would be neat to somehow generate indexes optimized for fingers and eyeballs and messy handwriting.

       @paul There were/are searching and sorting systems based on cards and similar media, pre computer, that clwpuld probably adapt nicely to being partially automated. Collection of papers on various applications and solutions.
