I have a geographical memory, that worked well with paper and books, but I haven't printed more than two pages in the last 7 years and none of my work uses books anymore (I did buy a book for academic study last year).
Zooming, from a building, to a room, to a bookshelf, to a book/folder/boxfile, to the content and the location within the content worked with my brain. With digital files it just seems like a swamp I have to wade through. Microsoft are so antagonistic to my 'location' based thinking because Windows conceals where files really are.
I similarly remember things spatially, but maybe not quite as extreme as a fully zoomable UI. But I think it's the reason I like spatial desktops / file managers.
