Abstract
The proliferation of technology has profoundly impacted every segment of society and the way humans think. The gradual growth of information technology has significantly influenced our approach to problem-solving. Computational thinking, a key aspect of IT, supports and encourages users to think logically, create, analyze, develop, and deliver solutions. This chapter explores various aspects of computational thinking and the essential tools in this field. The findings in this chapter demonstrate how computational thinking enables us to tackle complex problems by understanding them and developing viable solutions. Identifying useful patterns and the underlying details necessary for solving problems is facilitated by these tools. This chapter provides a descriptive study of relevant computational thinking tools and discusses the future tools needed to enhance the subject's importance.

Consumers as Producers: Information Decomposition Exploiting the Prosumerist culture
A cognitive process in which an individual’s information processing skills corrodes or disintegrates when two or more individuals under similar state of affairs happen to be the architects of the same content as they encounter the information offered to them, thus giving rise to a complex media environment where the meaningful content relapses.
