"We are what we read." Information architect is, in a sense, an organization of information that is pleasing aesthetically. There are five ways according to the reading, to organize the information: LATCH - location, alphabet, time, category, and hierarchy. The deciding factor is how we want the organized things to be found. It seems as if this article was written in 1996 when there isn't as much information as there is now. This makes me wonder if his thinking then and now are the same. I understand that the way information is organize plays a huge part but now that there is too much information, can we still employ the same theories?
