Modern people are more dependent on technology than ever before and I would guess that I do not know one person who could do anything without technology to support them. I have heard it argued that this fact is a bad thing and that humans may have caused themselves more harm than good because of it. I figure that is just stupid. The reality is we need more tech. We cannot ever possibly have enough. The people who struggle against tech or are even slow adopters are likely the single greatest cause of human suffering. The entirety of the dark ages can be attributed to that kind of thinking.

Since tech is so prevalent in our lives, and also because most people hardly ever stop ?going,? it makes sense that we need our tech to move with us. The old roomful of computers doesn't help at all when companies are global and their employees are on the move. Even people who do not work for big global companies need to be able to carry at least some data with them. Most people use their phones to store all kinds of things, like pictures, contact information, e-mails, and a lot more; but for people who really have a lot of data that needs to be portable, there is really only one great solution. Portable hard drives and thumb drives are the most common means of transporting data currently, and while thumb drives are more convenient due to size, they are also limited in storage and speed (even though there is a 1 terabyte USB 3.0 out there, it really isn't cost effective for most people).
