Computer Hard Drive Tetrad

Enhances:
Computer’s working memory and the user’s ability to save information in one location. Increases the amount of storage possible for each individual machine. Each machine can have a different amount of hard drive space allowing computers to be customized for individual users and tasks.

Obsoletes:
The invention of computer hard drives has made many previous technologies obsolete such as the floppy or hard disk that used to save files and data. With internal hard drives file sharing has begun eliminating the need for as many printed copies of things.
Retrieves:
With the invention of computer hard drives came the revival of communication and sharing information. The computer hard drive allows for users to have a safe, reliable place to store necessary information. The hard drive allows users to have a library of the information important to their specific needs.

Reverses:
Computer hard drives are already being replaced with smaller less fragile devices that allow users to be even more mobile than they already are. Inventions such as the flash drive and internet resources such as google docs are eliminating the need for an internal memory device within computers.

  1. Kassidy,

    Your tetrad is very easy to understand. I did not even consider the internet options such as Google Docs that help to reverse the need for hard drives. Good point!

  2. Kassidy, great comprehensive tetrad. I like the notion that cloud computing will replace the computer hard drive; however, what offline technology do you think will replace flash drives? Neat topic!
