Your title called me out by my full government name and listed my address. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone searching through my PC files for a download or photo, just to see that I didn’t name it what I thought I did.

Chin’s writing felt a little bit like my grandfather complaining that kids these days don’t know what it’s like to grow up with a hammer in their hand. I then realized that I only felt called out because my files are never organized. Reading Chin’s piece and listening to our in class discussion sort of whipped me into shape in terms of file management. So, I owe you a thank you. Great post. Thanks for helping me get my files together.

Hey girl! Your post was well written and thought out. I love how you go into the importance of file management through the use of comparing managing files to an array of things. Such as your comment you made in class about how people who don’t manage their files are like the kids who shove their papers in their backpack… which was a funny comparison (I laughed), but also such a wakeup call for me. Your post and the way you presented the importance of file management makes me feel I need to organize my files. Also, I love the comment you made about how you’re a serial organizer. That was so funny to me, because I love to organize too, but not my files… so your post was my wake-up call to organize everything, which for me means I will be busy over fall break LOL.

Hi Bailey! Your perspective on file management was so interesting to me. I wish I was a serial organizer, but alas. I wonder if our differences in computer systems impact our different approaches at all–with my Windows system, I’m able to find things when I need them after a few minutes of poking around and making some educated guesses, I just don’t need to find things very often. I can totally understand it being easier to know the layout of your files if the search function is kinda non-functional, though; that makes sense. However, I must say I didn’t appreciate your comparison between people like me and people that just shove loose papers into their backpacks lol. That’s a completely different story–although I must admit the analogy makes sense. Great article!
