The staple of college students nowadays is the portable jump drive. These small memory sticks are a life saver for students and allow them to carry countless essays and presentations to class or the library. Having one of these is a college life necessity. But flash drives are not meant to hold all your computers vital information, for that you should look into getting yourself an external hard drive. These backup memory drives are much larger in size, easily hitting 500 GB of storage capacity. You can store music, school work, movies and everything you can’t afford to lose in a compact design. New models can even mirror their backup, allowing you a third layer of protection. Backing up your important files is becoming more important in this digital age.
Newer computers may even include their own online computer
memory backup. This is an all-digital solution with no cables to hook up.
However, this service does require a constant internet hookup to be effective
and usually has a cost associated with it.
One wise teacher told me to always have a backup plan for
your presentations. Case and point, it was my time to present a research
project I had compiled to the class. I got to the class room with my jump drive
in hand. I was preparing for the presentation before class and noticed that the
USB slot was not working on the computer. There I was set to present, bullets
of sweat would have been running if it had not been for my teacher’s advice. So
I booted up my e-mail and loaded the presentation all the way to an A+.Electronic backup is a must for college students nowadays. Your parents had typewriters that produced physical copies, which were impossible to lose electronically. But with the blessings of technology, you have to prepare for some of its downfalls. Put these college computer dorm essentials on your supply list this summer and be prepared.
Stay Classy:
