They are files. They're not tactile files. Filing is a system of keeping documents available for use. The physical description went from a wire or a string stretched across a room (the file) to a folder that was later placed in a cabinet.

You mean files were originally hung on wires? I wonder if I ever knew that. I think I did once, but I'd forgotten. And I never thought about the word. How wonderful. Do another, please!

The mental models we inherited and still use regarding the creation of documentation and it’s management hold true four hundred years after the word file was used to denote a line upon which documents were hung. Our interfaces have changed, but that is all.
