Module 2: Concept 12: Communication and Information are related

Advanced Internet users actively create new contexts for the information they receive as part of asychronous communication (and other forms), and then give those contexts form and utility through mechanisms such as email folder filing systems; automated processes; etc.

This concept is also refering to creating new contexts to asynchronus information in the way we file it and access it. I guess it is fairly similar to the last concept in that we automatically attach our own meta data to it when we store it away for future reference. The example is given about website which list links.

This is an example of an individual contextualising information in the way they are able to access it.
We place our own stamp on the information in the way we process it.
