    We should not confuse Context with [[PARAM]]'s area. A context is best understood as the space containing the tools where we would complete a task. However, a space can be multiple contexts: the home office is both my @office where work is done and the @lab where [[home lab]] projects are usually worked on. I have a @phone context for phone calls, but with modern cell phones, this could be almost anywhere.
