 	- ## #History
 		- ### Early Roots
 			- 1. **Zettelkasten Method (Late 20th Century):** The term "Zettelkasten" was popularized by German sociologist Niklas Luhmann in the late 20th century. Luhmann used a system of index cards to capture ideas and notes, linking them through a numbering system, which allowed for a web of interrelated thoughts. His method emphasized the importance of context and connections over linear organization.
