Essentially, people perpetually desire more - more space and more potential. Due to technological advancements, consumers are demanding higher quality electronics with larger capacities. Consequently, the technology of hard drives and computer memory software are vastly improving and have been introduced into society. The first hard drive was created in 1956 and was the size of two refrigerators. Now, in 2016, hard drives can be as small as 1 inch. These devices serve as the ‘brain’ or ‘memory centre’ of everyday electronics.

They are the foundation for most devices and are used constantly, both directly and indirectly. Thier usage is limitless and prevalent in households, businesses and various other facilities.

School records, and marks can be stored in a hard drive as well as attendance and personal information of students. Even things such as surveillance cameras or body cameras, rely on hard drives to store their information. Therefore, police officers, teachers, secretaries, cashiers and security guards all depend on hard drives to keep up with protocol. Evidently, all jobs seem to be impacted or
