The End Of Thumb Drives

Two words: Cloud Computing.

Internet speed have increase in the past decade and it is now not uncommon to have 15Mbps lines and with the optical fibers installed in household on the horizon it will be just a matter of the next few years, we will have lighting fast internet speeds in our homes.

But right now, even with a simple 1Mbps connection, cloud computing has become a dominant game changer in everyday computing. Services that were unavailable or unthinkable of in the past are now appearing, like DropBox, etc where online file hosting and sharing has become a reality.

You no longer need to carry your thumb drives around, park your files with these services (with most of them free up to 2GB storage), your data are now truely online without worry that your thumb drive would fail or your system would crash.

So try out a free one today DropBox, before long, just like me, you will notice that you are no longer carry a thumb drive around.

(A Note: DropBox is not the only service available, there are others around like Apple's iDisk, Mozy, etc. I am recommending DropBox as, it is one of the services that gives you free increase in disk space with referrals online!)
