  • Use External Storage Devices Like Pen Drives, Cds, and Dvds
    External Intel® Learn Easy Steps Activity Card Storage Devices Using external storage devices like Pen Drives, CDs, and DVDs loading Videos Since the advent of computers, there has been a need to transfer data between devices and/or store them permanently. You may want to look at a file that you have created or an image that you have taken today one year later. For this it has to be stored somewhere securely. Similarly, you may want to give a document you have created or a digital picture you have taken to someone you know. There are many ways of doing this – online and offline. While online data transfer or storage requires the use of Internet, offline storage can be managed with minimum resources. The only requirement in this case would be a storage device. Earlier data storage devices used to mainly be Floppy drives which had a small storage space. However, with the development of computer technology, we today have pen drives, CD/DVD devices and other removable media to store and transfer data. With these, you store/save/copy files and folders containing data, pictures, videos, audio, etc. from your computer and even transfer them to another computer. They are called secondary storage devices. To access the data stored in these devices, you have to attach them to a computer and access the stored data. Some of the examples of external storage devices are- Pen drives, CDs, and DVDs. Introduction to Pen Drive/CD/DVD A pen drive is a small self-powered drive that connects to a computer directly through a USB port.

  • 69 IASA RESEARCH GRANT REPORT: a STUDY on the CHANGING PRICES of AUDIOVISUAL DIGITIZATION, 2006–2015 Rebecca Chandler, Avpres
    ARTICLE IASA RESEARCH GRANT REPORT: A STUDY ON THE CHANGING PRICES OF AUDIOVISUAL DIGITIZATION, 2006–2015 Rebecca Chandler, AVPreserve, USA Introduction Over the past five years in the United States and Europe there has been a decisive decline in the cost of digitization, resulting in historically low prices. This has been due to a variety of rea- sons, ranging from innovation to marketplace competition. With a shortening window of time in which to act, this economic advantage has been a boon to organizations with holdings of legacy audiovisual media. This is widely recognized and discussed among managers and budget holders within organizations. However, what has not been evaluated effectively is whether or not we are currently in a digitization market bubble. We hypothesize that obsolescence, degradation, and market factors will begin to place the cost of digitization back on an upward trajectory. What we do not know is how the curve will look. Our experience indicates that organizations are unwilling to believe that prices will increase at the same rate that they decreased, or that they will ever again reach even 50% of what they were just five years ago. However, these discussions are often emotionally-driven and take place without a well-laid foundation of data from which to judge. With the support of an IASA Research Grant, we set out to design a project that would begin to amass a shared and computable dataset that can help us ask questions and provide projections about our hypothesis. The goal of this project is to quantify and chart in detail the historical pricing trends for digitization over the past 10–15 years.
