The generational gap in terms of technology is very apparent between my parents and me. To them, data storage devices would be file cabinets. It would be either or a Rolodex. To my generation, the term data storage device could mean so many different things. The first thing that would come to mind is a computer. I have tons of my personal information, research, work and fun stored away on my computer. The next thing that comes to mind when I think of data storage devices is an external hard drive. I use my external hard drive to keep my computer’s hard drive open, which makes sure that it runs as fast as possible. I keep my entire music collection on my external hard drive, as well as all of my photographs. I have a lot of pictures too, since as part of my job I get photo passes for music festivals. I also keep all of my old work on my external hard drive. I do some graphic design, and never really know if an old client is going to need any of the designs or want new work done. I also use flash drives a lot to store data. They have really replaced the disc in terms of computer data storage.
