Storing Information

   Over the past years, technology has rapidly changed. Going from long, drawn-out processes to quick and snappy ones. How we find out and store information has also changed dramatically. 

   Now, people of my generation are probably thinking, 'but nothings changed!', well it has. In the past our parents didn't have Google or other search engines, they just had to find things out the long way, by moving from place to place. People would visit their friends to find out the latest gossip or banter, or go the library to research something for their homework. And those are just a few ways information was passed on! People would check the newspaper to find out the news, they would talk to some friends to find out whats happening and they would read hundreds of books to find what they need. But how did they store all of what they found out? In the past someone would probably just write it in a diary or put it in a shoe box for safe-keeping, but now everything has changed.

   I find out information in many ways. I normally just Google what I wan to find out and it comes up pretty quickly. I also checkout Yahoo! Answers to give me informations on various topics. Another great way that I use to find out information (maybe not incredibly necessary) is through Facebook. Facebook allows you to find out the latest news to do with your friends, you can also spread information around by chatting to them, 'inboxing' them or writing on their wall. I normally share information through Facebook as nearly all of my friends have it and it keeps me up to date with whats happening.

   Finally, how do I store information? I normally keep in on a Google Doc; this allows me to access it anywhere and also share it with anyone I like. I also store information on Microsoft, as this allows a wide range of editing to go on but unfortunately it is not very accessible. Lastly, I like to store some files on a memory stick. This makes me feel much safer with my files as they are actually in my pocket instead of in a huge memory warehouse.
