Digital clutter is a more significant modern problem than physical clutter.

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Digital clutter is a more significant modern problem than physical clutter.". Your opponent's style: Sensible, questioning, polite, providing precise and short arguments step by step

We think that a modern person can't live without technology. People use computers on a regular basis. And in order to work with computers properly one needs an organized space.

Actually, you've made my point for me. Your argument about needing organized physical spaces for computer work proves exactly why physical clutter remains the more pressing issue. 50% of Americans feel overwhelmed by physical clutter in their offices, and the research is crystal clear: the average office worker wastes 4.3 hours per week searching for papers. That's over 200 hours annually - an entire month of productivity lost to physical disorganization. Here's what's fascinating: while you can instantly search digital files, lost productivity from physical clutter costs U.S. businesses over $89 billion annually. Physical clutter creates what researchers call "cognitive overload" - the Princeton Neuroscience Institute found that visible mess competes for your attention, making it harder for your mind to decide what to focus on. Yes, we use computers constantly. But those computers sit on physical desks, in physical offices, surrounded by physical objects. Physical clutter acts as a direct stressor that depletes energy and impedes both productivity and well-being. You can't escape the physical environment - it's literally where your body exists while using that technology. Digital files can be searched in milliseconds. Physical papers? You're still hunting through stacks like it's 1995.
