The Death of the Hard Drive


Stop worrying about when the hard drive in your computer will die. Google wants to kill it permanently anyway.

The new Google Chrome operating system, which was unveiled Tuesday, as well as hints and suggestions from Apple and Microsoft, offers us a preview of the PC of the future. And it will come without that familiar whirring disk that has been the data heart of the PC for the past 25 years.

The Chrome OS will at first be available on all-black laptops from Samsung and Acer. And because the new platform stores everything -- files, applications, data bits and bytes, literally everything -- on online servers rather than on your home or office PC, those new PCs running it won't require gobs of storage. In fact, they won't require any storage at all.

The new Google laptops come without hard drives, in other words.

I kind of like storing my own stuff. And i back up to DVD every 60 days. Of course I am always behind on my operating system. If it works I don't switch. I am still on XP and quite happy with it. But now that I'm retired I mostly use the PC for my own entertainment and social connections...I love taking pics and I store a lot but I also print out many and have updated DVDs when they get really too many.. I store my writings and poems in the same way...I gues I'm a creature of habit

Me too.  I think most of us are.  We can't all be movers and shakers, someone has to sit on the curb and clap.
