Main point - This chapter is about the labels and identifications that exists in todays world, and how it is hard to decipher what they all actually mean. Information that is viewed can often times be irrelevant, and useless.
So what - Labels on products and on digital information is inferred to mean something to the viewer, but it is really our job to delve deeper into the label and see what is actually there. Data on different public sharing websites can be aimed to a particular group, or target someone harmfully, and this is what people need to be aware of when they are just basically judging a book by its cover.
Ch 9
Main point - Chapter nine revolves around organization, and how the vast amounts of data and information are organized, in everyones own particular way. Different digital data these days is classified in so many different categories, and the organization of this is making it imperative so we have the ability to access correct facts and figures.
So what - If there is no organization in data and information, it will make it virtually impossible to find something quickly and easily. You could make a google search and a vast variety of information will show up, but if it is not classified, you will have to pick through it and find something from a reliable source that fits your guidelines.

I think that you are right. labels and tags can be somewhat deceiving and should be looked at further
ReplyDeleteYour summaries here are really vague. Work on pulling out a couple key points from the chapter to really explain. Otherwise it's hard for me to see that you really got it (eg: chapter 8, implicit v. explicit info would've been a good thing to bring up)
