This week's lecture involved the discussion of information management. Firstly, there are two types of information formats: atom-based and bit-based. Atom-based information are those such as books, papers, reports, etc, while those of bit-based formats are electronic content, digital reproductions and many others. A variety of pros and cons were stated between the two, nit-based information are seen as very cheap and flexible with the ability to be editted easily. Atom-based information on the other hand are hard to copy and change though are easily protected and can be hid.
There are a number of ways bit-based information can be stored.
.zip
.wav
.mpeg and many others
These are electronically stored and are not hard copy. These allow easy tranfers, acess and editting. Computers allow the organisation of bit-based information which make its functions more accessable.
