Down The Rabbit Hole

I had chosen to follow this link to this article about  computer crashing before computers because I realize that technology has had a high increase ment till today and is improving at the same time. From the article I’ve learned that we always need to have a backup to all of our files because computers end up crashing and erases very important files that could of taken a long time. Therefore it is needed to have a extra copy to long term papers.
