Blog 2

ok, so i'm super behind from being sick, so now i am going to try to catch up, by doing all the blogs super late. Sorry!

I think the main point from the beginning weinberger chapters is that order is very important, but the way you order things depends on the situation. Physical books, and other objects, can only be put in so many categories, you don't want a copy of the same book in 10 different locations, it just wouldn't make sense. Digitally, one book can be put in an infinite number of categories. This is demonstrated with Amazon. A book can have numerous tags, and could be included in many lists.

I keep my photographs on my computer and external hard drive categorized by event, and then by date. All my pictures from Disney World from august will be in one file, and that file will be in a 2010 file. The files within the 2010 file are listed by date, newest first.

  1. You could've been more specific with the overview (using quotes and evidence for your points) but you seem to have the gist. Thanks for catching up.
