<\/a>With the capacity to store exponentially more data than could be done in the past, computer scientists must make sure that the data collected does not disappear due to a crashed computer. In the article “What is a File?<\/a>” the authors state that because computers can fail “in part” and “in totality,” “data within this system are so arranged that if part of them is destroyed or even the whole, this event does not catastrophically affect the system\u2019s functioning, its utility.” This necessity to create systems that are able to not only store data but also retain it in case of a total system failure. “Filing” has evolved over time, just as data has, and it will continue to be adjusted to fit the need at the time.<\/p>\n Bibliography:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/MSR-TR-2011-109.pdf<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.mkomo.com\/cost-per-gigabyte<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n Posted from My blog<\/a> by Charlie<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With increasing development of computers and filing systems, people are now able to store massive amounts of data with ease.
