Quote: Is it because of almost a generation of computers having a tree structure in a file system and our paradigm is constrained to that? Is there a better structure (perhaps based on how our brain works)?

The tree structure is pretty much ingrained in the way we do things, yes.
There have been attempts to shift to different paradigms, but i don't think any of them really caught on.

I'm rather clueless as far as neurosciences are concerned, but i'd say the world wide web is pretty much the closest one can get to the way our brain works, as far as information organization is concerned. I don't think that would work for a calculator.
