In my computer I keep it organized. I organize it by putting most things in sections. For example I keep my pictures organize by putting them into labeled folders. I use a hierarchical system. A tag is a non-hierarchical term assigned to a piece of information. Social bookmarking is a way for internet users to organize, store, manage and search for bookmarks of resources online. These two terms are important in the digital age because they help people organize their computer so they are able to find things easier.

To feed the bacteria housed in the bio-light's unusual hand-blown glass compartments, methane - which could generated by the MH kitchen's bio-digester unit from kitchen vegetable waste - is piped in through thin silicon tubes connected to a reservoir at the base.
