I didn't know there were so many different forms of memory either. I thought there were only floppy disk, cd's and flash drives. There are more forms of memory than what I originally thought existed such as Blue-ray, Holographic Versatile Disc, and magnetic disks. I remember using floppy discs in junior high. They were so big and annoying, and I hated them!
I am such a mainstream computer/tech junky. I don't know about everything regarding tech but I do keep up with all the mainstream things such as the iPad, new cell phones, software programs and laptops. I like staying in the loop of new tech, because the world changes and gets so much more efficient everyday. I don't want to be left out by my peers.
Storing data have changed so much in the last 7 years. I remember when I used to use floppy disks just like you said. Its amazing how a flash drive can have 4 or Gega bite of memory, pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe computer is developing so fast that I’m afraid I can’t totally catch its speed. When I was young, I remembered the first computer which I used is less capacity and the hard disk is just so-so. It is just satisfied by me for its basic easy functions. However, now I have to receive new functions of computer year by year. And I nearly drown into the complicated programming.
ReplyDeleteYour post does make me think about what we used to have and what we have now. Also, the prices too, I mean, something that you can get now for cheap used to be something that was brand new and people were amused by and would pay alot of money for. This class has also taught me more about the definition of computers. I would have never thought of some of these things as computers that actually are.
ReplyDeleteNice research on this blog. You went into detail about the whole topic. This blog makes me think more about how our world has evolved around technology. We went from tapes to compact discs. From big screens to having flat screens.
ReplyDeleteI agree when you said you want to stay in the loop of technology. That is very wise. New technology is very exciting. The stuff companies come up with these days are geared to make life for people easier. How can you not want to be in the loop?
