Do Now 1/4

How to keep your computer organized is very simple. You just create folders and title them in many ways. For example I have a folder that says summer 2011. And inside that folder there are more folders divied by the trips I took that summer. I use hierarchical system, a folder within a folder into a folder. Another way to organize your computer is Tagging, Social Bookmarking. For example Tagging you can label diffrent codes. And with Socail bookmarking you bookmark your favorate websites but its on the internet not just on one  computer Tagging, Social Bookmarking are very important in the digital age because those are other ways to organize your favorate websites.
