Discussion questions pg.93

1.
1- portable devices
  • Pros: You can take personal info with you anywhere to print, access, share and upload to the net,etc. from other computers.
  • Cons: These portable devices are easily lost and stolen, thus your work can be used by others under their names. Because while using portable devises we often uses public computers or computers that often dont belong to us, others can easily spy on you work or info without permission.
2- Personal Laptop:
  • Pros: It can be taken with you anywhere. You can add, delete edit, etc, at your own free will. because a laptop is large, you tend not to forget or lose something as expensive or valuable compared to a mere usb drive.
  • Cons: It can break, its too bulky to carry around everywhere. some people might try to steal it. If it breaks there is no way to return back your lost memory.
2. I think personal info would be more secure on a flash memory, rather than on the net. Today their are all sorts of ways to hack on the internet and ways to overcome even secured websites. While having flash memory info althoough there is a high risk of loss, it reall y is no different from our credit cars, or kaiser cards, our social security cars, and etc. These cards are really just another type of flash memory.
