Sharing 15: Folders

I tried talking to the kid on the concept of "folder" in a computer. The moment I mentioned the word to him, pat came a question: " Can a computer be folded?". I was dumbfounded (read tongue-twisted). 
Then I thought of explaining him with a simple real-life example. I gave him an example of his set of animals which is kept in a jute bag. I tried explaining him that the entire collection could have been kept partly outside on a window sill, some may assorted on a teapoy, some could have been kept on his study table and some could have been kept besides his bed. Now, in this scenario, it would be difficult for him / his mother to retrieve a desired set of animals. Keeping at one place would ensure easy retrieval and easy remembrances. Similarly, similar objects could also be kept in a folder inside the computer.
Hope he understood at least something!
