Summarization of 3 books

After the completion of Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide, Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy, and Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder, it is clear how they all are intertwined and have their own meaning regarding web 2.0, digital technology and culture, and emerging advancements in technology.

The books all discuss how new media and data are organized, and how this information can be utilized in society today. This course so far has really made me think twice about the amount of raw data that exists in the world today, and how crucial it is to be organized into some sort of universal format. Finding and retrieving information efficiently is just as important as the validity of the information, because if you don't know where to look, the information is useless.

Utilization of information is so important especially when converging new and old media, because there is a fine line where you make the mark determining what is useful and what is outdated. There is no way that information retrieving can thrive without some sort of complete overhaul on the organization and management that currently exists. The amount of data out there today is exponentially multiplying, and this world needs to collaborate and work together to create some sort of system that organizes it as well as makes this easy to access.
