ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Informatization

Hey kiddo! Do you know what "information" means? It's all the things we know and learn, like facts, news, or stories. "Informatization" is a big word that means using technology and computers to help us collect, store, and share all that information.

Imagine you have a lot of toys but you don't know where to put them, so they are all over your room. But your parents buy you a big toy box with different compartments to keep your toys organized. That's kind of what we do with information!

Informatization helps us keep all the information we have in one place and easily find what we are looking for. We use different tools like computers, smartphones, and the internet to create, store, and share information. For example, when you want to watch your favorite cartoon show, you go to an app or website that has all the episodes listed. That's informatization!

Also, people can communicate with each other even if they are not in the same place. You can talk to your grandma on the phone or see her face on a video call. That's also part of informatization! We can share information with people from all over the world without having to leave our homes.

Informatization has changed the way we live, learn, and work. It helps us be more productive and efficient, and it opens up new opportunities for communication and entertainment. Cool, huh?
