Week 5: Clear

Flash drives, floppies, CD's, all are common terms to me. Of course the revolutionary flash drive is a life saver and a little magical wonder when it comes to documents. I can be at one computer, store my documents on my flash and go to the next to have them upload on to different computer! CD-R is a wonderful invention as well. You can buy your music on i-tunes and customize your very own soundtrack. This chapter was very interesting but clear to me. It made me more clear on things I pretty much use everyday.

Computers are becoming faster then ever. Staying cool and mass storage are making our little wizards (computers) necessary need in our lives. We can back up all our work on so many different types of devices, making it more safe to store things away from damage or computer failure. There are many different types of storage that the consumer can pick out depending on there preference.

For example, take a traditional role of film from a camera. You only were able to get about 20-25 pictures per role at 5-15 dollars a piece. Now with the new and improved digital camera, you buy a SD-card and you can shoot anywhere from 20-2000 pictures with out having to delete or remove any photos from the card. Digital cameras have improved marketing and advertising aspects of business because now you can take power shots and not worrying about over shooting or replacing the film every 20-25 pictures. Also with the CD-R it is possible to upload your pictures from your SD card to your computer and transfer them to a writable CD where they can be stored without fear of computer failure or damage to the negatives. You must store your CD properly, of course, but a CD can hold many photos, videos, and music of your liking. You can choose any type on storing device you prefer, you just have to choose the one thats best for you.
