Technology

I’m amazed how far technology as came in the past few years, everything has been changing at an astonishing rate. For example a few days ago I went to Best Buy and got a 8 gigabyte flash drive for under 30 dollars; Imagine how expensive one of those would have been just two years ago. I remember when a computer’s hard drive could only hold 8 gigabytes of memory and that wasn’t that long ago. There are many other technological advances that have been made in recent years and they’re just going to keep advancing.

As all of you readers of my blog know that my laptop crashed about a week or so ago and I didn’t lose anything, but there are precautions I’m going to have to take. Lately I’ve been looking at buying an external hard drive and I’m really interested in the one terabyte of memory. For those of you how don’t know about this kind of stuff a terabyte is 1000 gigabytes. My parents and friends ask me what am I going to do with such a device and I really have no idea. As of right now I probably wouldn’t need it, but I could store everything for the rest of my life on it. An external hard drive would be extremely nice because if my laptop does crash again I have all of my files backed up onto this external hard drive. These things are not too expensive, but I don’t feel I need to spend 150 dollars on one terabyte of memory, when technology is going to advance and soon enough there will be even more memory to be had.

Not only has the memory space increased the number of hackers and illegal downloads have increased also. There are many programs out there which allow people to download stuff illegally, I’m not going to name any for safety’s sake, but a few years ago companies could control this. Now a day’s almost everyone with a computer does this because it can’t be stopped! Also years ago people didn’t have the knowledge that they have now to create such programs.

There have been many new advancements on all spectrums of technology in the past ten years and there is no slowing society down. From new programs to computer processors to external hard drives we can’t really be stopped, Go Technology!
