Is Technology really useful?

Sometimes a person has to stop driving and check the car’s engine. It’s a must. In tech world the same thing is true. We can’t always be in a rush to get to somewhere. The dot com boom proved this as many of those rocket companies ended up with a bang. Sometimes it is better to reevaluate what we are doing. Probably we should impose ourselves a schedule for that. Say every six months? And at certain times we can eve think on the need of all this. Is technology really necessary?

SSD memory just around the corner

During the third annual event, the firm demonstrated the world’s first 32 gigabyte NAND flash-based solid state drive (SDD) that will replace hard disc drives.

Samsung is just on the verge of a revolution! The new SSD devices offer 32GB of pure fun for computers. This devices will replace in some near future the hard drive component. Besides being faster in Read an Write operations, the SSD also doesn’t have any moving mechanical parts, witch is one of the traditional Hard Drive handicaps. For now, the price tag is still to high, but it will drop as technology gets wide acceptance. I hope to see this kind of tech soon.
