Now and then I report on technical matters and developments that go on in the world before him, and sometimes even find their way to me. Only occasionally, and if, then very slowly, but that does not bother me at all.
Since one or two weeks, I think once again to the rapid technological development that is happening before our eyes. Primarily in terms of computer and data storage.
Since one or two weeks, I think once again to the rapid technological development that is happening before our eyes. Primarily in terms of computer and data storage.
Several years ago I started using the good old 3.5-inch floppy disk in order to save my data. At that time I went to college and have saved primarily house and seminar papers, but also private. One-two texts, photos and the like. Older among you will certainly have the precursors of this disk have used.
Then came for me personally approaching the time when the whole with the help of CD burners and one-CDs much faster, easier, and were mainly in larger quantities. Since then fitted forward to it lots of photos and MP3 tracks, which was not bad! I was enjoying it, thinking that you had not, what and how much you save, because you go wild on it and burn them on CD, which had space -
The next pretty big step for me was the re-writable CDs. And if one disc is no place more, then took the next one, it was finally really no matter what you burned to CD. One could easily delete it.
The next step in the continuous development were of course the USB stick. The step from the rewritable CDs was not as powerful, but yet again the whole lot faster and easier. Moreover, even the little things are very handy and small, so you must keep clear even more space for a CD in his pocket. Extra attention is just the little things that you can not lie somewhere or loses, just because they are so small!
the penultimate step, I myself - so far - not complete: indeed appeared some point, external hard drives that have not of course USB format, but could save much more, or can. And above all, they are used by many at home as a backup and are from this point of view basically no competition for the USB sticks, but are often used in parallel.
And now, since one or two weeks, I am engaged in virtual reality: the so-called cloud computing . Of course, only at the amateur level of technical issues, I understand that is nothing at all. And I'm probably much later off than many other "network kids" out there, but still.
I find it fascinating that you basically no more physical memory needed to store its data. Neither at home, still on the road. Moreover, one can when one is working on two or possibly more PCs to synchronize the files even open, so get in line. Since
can not happen anymore, that a file that is lying around on the home computer, urgently needed and is not stored on the USB stick. And the store is a matter of only a few seconds - even the step I have often done instead of storing on a USB memory stick deleted, namely Sending the file by mail spite of myself
throws the whole course several questions: An Internet connection is essential, for example - and can still often interrupted for any reason be. In addition, it has been a queasy feeling, whether the data is actually on the unknown server security. Passwords so you should maybe not put there.
Finally haunted in my head again and again the idea around as long as there still is the Internet? Could it even disappear altogether? Could it reach the limit of its capacity? Question after question, the answer is only the future, but so far the development is truly breathtaking!
