I can recall some of the many different ways we stored data in past. The first way data was stored was in books. Even hundreds of years ago they stored information in books, for example the Bible. It is more amazing to see how far we have come in the last little while. I can remember books but it is hard for me to remember back to the time when we would store typed up documents on a floppy disk, whether it was an 8, 5 ¼, or a 3 ½ inch disk. They were smaller than books, but either way, they didn’t store much information. Then the CD came into the picture where we could store thousands of pages of information on one tiny little disk. After the CD came DVDs and we’ve moved even further to Blu-ray disks and HD-DVDs which can store more information on one disk than could fit in millions of books. I just think it is incredible what a difference technology has made in the way and the amount of information we can store.
