Chapter 5:

1. This chapter is about how nearly everything in our lives are random or unorganized. Even if something seems organized in one way, it may be a complete mess in another. Then is explains how in the digital world, tagging seems to have fixed this mess in its own way for individual users to use information how they please.

2. "Sometimes...sorting on the way in takes more effort than sorting on the way out."
"But, every time you organize matter in one way, you are disordering them in another."

3. As I was reading about tagging things, and how it helps people to find this information easier, it reminded me of when I am searching for information online. I often find a large article, when all I need is a little piece of it. I will often do the Ctr+F trick and search for a key work I was looking for. Like, if I am trying to find the date that Picaso died, I will find numerous articles about him, being pages long. So, I simply search for the word "died" or "death" in the article to find this information.


Chapter 6:

1. What I got out of this chapter is how categories of information are so large but can be placed into so many sub categories. These sub categories, or ways of finding information, make it easier to find the desired information.

2. "The indentifiers in this stew are themselves mixed. Some are as carefully assigned as Thinglinks, bar codes, ISBNs, and uBio identifiers. Others are as loose as the vernacular names for fish."
"Modern biologists are more like accidentalists than essentialists."

3. When I was reading about Microsoft's AURA development I related to this because I have a similar application on my phone. I am able to scan the bar code on an item and get an internet search for the product or it will give me all of its dietary information. Even coupons or local price comparisons.
