1. A system of organizing, displaying, and interacting with information on a display device, the system comprising:
a computer processor; and
a memory device accessible by the computer processor and storing at least one of:
computer code executable by the computer processor, and
data used by the computer code, wherein the computer code when executed causes the computer processor to:
provide, to at least one display device, a graphical interface that includes a main display area;
provide to the at least one display device a main digital object that provides a menu of a plurality of digital objects and a search area allowing the user to input a search term for a digital object, each digital object being a separate interactive application providing a user interface,
organize digital objects selected from the menu of the plurality of digital objects in a plurality of layers, the selected digital objects including at least two different types of interactive applications, the layers including:
a base layer corresponding to a base-surface window of the main display area, wherein an appearance of one or more base-layer objects in the base-surface window may be selectively altered by a user via an input device working in conjunction with graphical information of the graphical interface, the input device enabling the user to input information to the computer processor, and
a fixed layer corresponding to a fixed-surface window of the main display area, the fixed layer being positioned above the base layer within the main display area, wherein an appearance of one or more fixed-layer objects in the fixed-surface window are fixed or pinned when an appearance of a base-layer object is altered by the user via the input device;
form, based on user instructions inputted using the input device via the graphical interface, a group by overlaying a plurality of base-layer digital objects in the base-surface window of the main display area, each digital object of the group having an area that overlaps with an area of another digital object of the group, with data produced by a first digital object of the plurality of base-layer digital objects being usable by a second digital object of the plurality of base-layer digital objects that is overlaid on the first digital object to produce a combined output; and
synchronize the digital objects of the group such that a manipulation to one of the digital objects of the group, based on a user instruction, affects a remainder of the digital objects of the group.
