Floppy disk

Gates became the youngest billionaire ever at the time, having a networth of $12.9 billion. The 1970’s was a very popular time for new upcomings and new technologies. Bill Gates starting Microsoft, the beginning of VCR’s, Tom Persky inventing the floppy disk, and the pocket calculator was just the beginning of the new technologies to come. Technology in the 1970’s was just the beginning to the uproar of many new exciting experiments and new technologies to come. The impact of the technologies in…

In this modern age of information gathering and retrieval, the thought of how and to the extent we can store information has always been an issue of paramount concern. For while libraries, hard drives, and floppy disks served their purpose in bygone times, the amount of information we have today, along with the prodigious rate it is still growing, have made them , while not necessarily obsolete, insufficient for the task. This is why the most promising method of storage in the current time is…

The floppy disk drives were able to store up to MP. Although at first the technology the floppy disks were able to sustain the rate of improvement in the product performance of the company, it eventually led to the disruption of the performance trajectory which consequently resulted in the failure of the…

which is loaded onto the computer without the user knowledge and runs itself. When this code is executed, it makes a copy of itself and inserts this copy into another computer programs, data files of the hard drive. Such small virus also steals hard disk space and CPU time , corrupts data. This is dangerous because it will make use of available memory and brings system to halt. Brain Virus: Brain virus is the first computer virus which was released in January…

Safeback, Expert witness, & Snapback, & one of these tools will be used to complete a bit-stream backup that will be performed on the device. Once the drive is backed up, the drive information will then be saved on write optical disks & began a case file. Two back up disks will be created for in case something were to happen to one of them. Sometimes it can be difficult completing the backups due to the age of the system, format of the drive, double spaced, & new high capacity devices, & if the…

Case Study #3 The main goal of a computer forensic investigator is to conduct investigations through the application of evidence gathered from digital data. As a forensic investigator, it’s important to have a strong understanding of the different types of evidence that maybe encountered and the appropriate steps for retrieving and preserving it. The information that is collected during an investigation is extremely fragile and must be properly processed. In order to accomplish this, forensic…

and hard disk storage. Magnetic tape became more popular because it was cheaper to produce and more reliable comparing to the hard disk at the time. One big draw back for the magnetic storage was it is slow and the data reading is sequential which means the computer cannot skip to access a certain piece of data. Magnetic disk technology developed into many forms, a popular one was the floppy disk that came in different sizes and storage capacities. In the 1990s, the invention of optical disk…

Task 2 SCSI SCSI is a Small computer system interface which is usually used for disk drives. It can support up to 8 devices or 16 devices with a wide SCSI. The use can have a n SCSI adapter expansion card with either an internal or external connection. After this adapter has been installed, this will then allow more than multiple SCSI devices to be installed within the computer. This was mainly designed for apple but can be used for computers but many have switched to SATA drives. SCSI is a…

Computer forensics started in the late 1970's when it was determined that there was evidence to be found on computers that could assist in the apprehension or conviction of a suspect. Since then there have been many different ideas as to what is considered the proper process of attaining the data and what is legal for either the government or corporations. Today, almost anyone that you meet will have a cell phone that is a considerably more powerful computer than the one that guided the Apollo…

better life decisions, and how to succeed. Without knowing the difference between right and wrong one is not able to navigate and be successful on the mere education that is provided by the school system. In Elizabeth Bohnhorst final paragraph of “Floppy Disk Fallicies,” she supports my claim of a need for a more interpersonal education, “But when it comes to teaching basic skills and allowing for intellectual development, human interaction and exploration of the real world should never come…
