What would life be without the USB stick? What would be life be if we stuck to cassettes (Find cassette recorders here at Office1000!) and diskettes and compact disks? What would life be if we didn't have these high-memory stick-em-on devices? What would life be if Trek did not come up with the flash drive?I would say it is a doomed life. A very doomed life. As a human being cannot possibly bring his personal computer everywhere, people like me, who do not have laptop computers, are at a disadvantage. Floppy disks are unreliable. They easily get virus and easily break because of the moving parts--and, let's face it, they're so out of touch. CDs and DVDs are no different. Si, they have high memory and data retrieval is fast. But saving to them is another matter, since burning is the only way. Not all computers in the world have CD/DVD writers, you know.
Thank goodness there is the flash drive, that handy dandy tool that lets you save and restore data at a fast rate without the need for expensive hardware. All you need is a USB port. Keep in mind that USB ports are not for flash drives alone, so it's worth it. They're also more reliable and more durable. And let us not forget that they make good necklace pendants (since they also come in novelty designs). Could you possibly ask for more? Unless you're insane, you cannot.
Of course flash drives are quite expensive, as compared to DVDs, VCDs, and cassettes (we'll talk about blu-ray discs at some later time), but if your computer is like mine (256MB RAM, 18GB secondary memory), you'll surely be needing the amount of extra memory flash drives offer.
In the end, I shall say, "I think I shall never see, a gadget as lovely as a USB (flash drive). Haha.
All UPSable
