How to save things on your computer

How I keep my computer organized is use folders for my emails and blogs. Then order the folders to make things easier to maneuver  and get around the site. We store photos, documents, videos, etc. in folders to organize and not be cluttered with things we don't need. We use a hierarchical system to organize things and not to be disorganized. If you want to have more space you can add folders into other folders. You can also organize blogs you subscribe to by putting your subscriptions into folders.

Tagging: Tag sites so you can see the material in the site and open in  Google Reader.

Social bookmarking: Bookmark social networking sites so they can be accessed faster and easier

These are important for the digital age because it helps people keep up with the rush of things. They can access work faster and more efficiently. Instead of searching for sites they can read whats on the site if they tag the site.
