What are the computer's main storage devices, and how can i evaluate whether they matchmy needs? The computers hard drive is usually good enough. Memory in the hard drive is sufficient enough for me, but for those who need more memory for music, pictures, or work files and if they travel alot then they would probably want a secure way of uploading them to there computer. I recommend that they would use the Barracuda Backup Service. Just by it's award winning secuirty, networking, and storage solutions. Thats a web-site that i would store my files at. http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/products/backup_overview.php?&a=google-na_BackupService-General_CloudStorage&kw=cloud%20storage&gclid=CN-F7LqPuLACFYje4AodM0JW5g. That is the url address to Barracuda web-site. Comes complete with their very own firewall and virus protection. Secuirty is the big thing when you want your files and information to be private. The web -site can store up to Suggested Backup Volume: 12 TB & RAID Internal Capacity: 24 TB.

In a presentation in Dublin, Ireland in March 2010, Google sales chief Jim Haley stated that desktops would be irrelevant in three years (SiliconRepublic.com). Smartphones, notebooks, and the amount of information available online will converge to create a different kind of future than what we’ve known, according to Haley. Do you agree? Why or why not? What impact would that have on the types of hardware and software that are the most in demand? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yes i do agree! The amount of devices that have computer capabilities is advancing. Look at what has happened in the past decade. I remember my fathers Motorola cell phone was huge and bulky. the only thing it was use for was to call people with and nothing else. The phone had a green screen that you can only dial numbers on. Now 15 years later we have cell phones that read e-mails, send and receive text messages, go on the internet, watch t.v. or videos, and now they have cell phone with computer processing chips inside of them. Tablets they have the same capabilities as cell phone tablets don't call people. Or can they??? Now they have both.... which is the Samsung Galaxy note. _______http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-note-carbon/4505-6452_7-35117983.html_______. It's basically a big cellphone. Also what about the Google Goggles.__________http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CGoQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fsciencetech%2Farticle-2125139%2FGoogle-Project-Glass-video-Glasses-layer-Maps-email-web-searches-OVER-view-world.html&ei=ir3KT_GQF4WT6gGhkLXrDw&usg=AFQjCNGivD2NHVL01MQt4Vzauw_gv91BVQ______________.

Social Networking and Society

             The advantages of social networking is that we can talk to people from far places, like family and friends to stay connected with them. Another advantage is that you can set an event like a birthday. From there people can r.s.v.p. and comment on what they should bring or if they should dress up. Certain advantages with people we want to stay connected without being on the phone all day long.
              The disadvantages are that people can sometimes view your posts or social page that do not have access to your page. Another disadvantage is people can send viruses and steal your idenity. Trick you into sending them money if your selling something online. Lots of things can are good and bad about social networking.
               I believe that a positive effect that social networking has on society is that more people are looking into the future creating easier ways to socialize on the computer. Creating new technology, comming up with new ideas, and advancing with technology where society never thought possible.
               The negative effect is that people may not get out as much anymore because they want to spend all the time in a day to be on the computer. I aslo believe that if we rely on technology to much that a glich or a virus gets into the system then shuts down. Then we will be lost without a clue on to know what to do.
               Businesses are using social networking for promoting products and getting feedback as well.
If I owned a business, I would want to know a customers feedback on how the product works for them. Then other people who see the post will join in on buying my product.
                I see social networking in three years as it is today, but just different versions of the network.
