Information may be organized in both real and virtual
cases. When using the computer to organize information,
there are spreadsheets, electronic folders or portfolios, and
computer programs, and applications that can be used. We
can learn from the libraries, archives, museums, building
maps, stores, shops, and supermarkets in terms of how
they organize information, objects, products, and materials.

Storing information and media
materials means keeping them
in a safe place so that we can
easily retrieve and restore
them. When storing, we need
to know initially the types of
media materials, documents,
and files (e.g., doc, docx, ppt,
xls, mp3, mp4, jpeg).

Likewise, knowing the type of
material or document will also
help us to decide the amount
of space that we will need for
storing them. However, some
materials may not necessarily
require a big space as we can
