Organization

I am not the most organized person. Folders in my computer usually end up piling in one folder until i can't find anything. Once it gets to this point i usually end up deleting things to get them out of the way. On the computer that I just received I am becoming more organized because i don't want it to be a pain to find some of the folders that I use frequently. Most of the time I end up making important folders into icons on my desktop. Now I am more so organized because I have all my music and videos in their own files. The songs are in an album folder and the album folder is in an artist folder and so on.

The term Tagging refers to a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a certain piece of information.

Social Bookmarking is a method for users to organize, store, manage and search for bookmarks of resources online. These files are not shared it is simply a reference to them.

These two terms are important to the digital age because they are both tools that help people stay organized. They allow a person to find whatever they want to find with little hassle.
