Some peope do not need any information managemenet. That is fine.

Doug Engelbart envisioned something back in time which we still do not
have completed for mankind.

Doug Engelbart Institute - Boosting mankind's capability for coping with complex, urgent problems:

Org mode is one way to the information management. Hyperbole is other
way. They are going in parallel, they are not replacing each other.

On personal computer I use personal people management, but on remote
computer I would use HyRolo to quickly insert contacts. I would then
later import them to my personal database.

I can't use Org for information management. I have 240034 people and
groups in the database, and their 197815 addresses, and 273836 of
their phone numbers and email addresses, with related 46365

While Org is meant to be all knowing information management, I keep it
pretty silent for basic lightweight markup and as unit of information
within much larger Dynamic Knowledge Repository as envisioned by
Engelbart.
