Online Storage

Online storage is the new technology of this century. It allows to save tons of data and documents, not physically in the individual devices. You can access this storage from any device and anywhere as long as you have an Internet connection.

Furthermore, which this allows is the easy and quick sharing of documents in an instant from anywhere, anytime. This revolutionizes communication of files as now huge files can be accessed from anywhere and you can give that access to anyone you wish.

Dropbox is one of the programs that allows to this and is a leader in the sector. It automatically syncronizes the files you choose and is free until a certain capacity which can be increased. You can share files or even create common files so multiple persons can work simultaneous.

Even Google Docs follows this system where you write online and the document is saved online to be open where you wished through your google account. This can also be worked by multiple people at the same and it can be shared with no problem, multiple projects. Everything is saved online, you don't even have to worry about forgetting to save as it is automatic.

My Choice for University

The operative system I would use for my PC or laptop is Mac. There are several reasons for that.

First is the pure aesthetic. Mac has the best looks in the market and looks very cool, sly and professional, something with which no other option can compete with. Everyone knows when he is seeing a Mac and everyone likes the feel it gives.

Secondly, and maybe most importantly, its power. Mac, or iOS, is a very powerful system capable of nearly anything in a very large range. It has tons of programs free of charge that allow you to do all kinds of creative projects and activites, like Garage Band or iMovie. You can also buy all kinds on apps and programs which Mac is fully capable of managing.

It is also very efficient and user friendly, with the lower bar and all its customization options, as well as the sly look and similarity to tablet and mobile settings. It is also a very attractive disposition and lay out.

Finally, Mac has no viruses! Which solves many of the risks of the operative system coming down before time. Mac is also very efficient and rarely fails in the same as Windows sometimes does, and it is more widely used than the Linux systems.

The disadvantages I'd point is sometimes the compatibility problems with some programs, which are not always available for Mac but it is not something comparable with all its advantages.

In the end Mac is a top quality product with a reputation worthy of the product it sells. And in for my university experiencie, I will use the iOS system.

PC vs. Laptop vs. Tablet

At the start of the technology world PC was the only option for a computing device and thus was the leader in the media. They evolved rapidly and could do everything, slowly beginning to be more manageable and smaller. Tons of programs were developed and things that before could only be done with a huge room-size computer. But this same advancements are beginning to be the death of the PC. Because this increase in efficiency with less space led to the development of a PC but much more portable and which is slowly but steadily catching up with the PC's processing power, the laptop.

When laptops entered the computer market, everyone wanted one of these small devices for computing on the go. Laptops received a lot of hype because of their portability and their ease of use. This new technology took the computing world by storm and dominated the portable computer scene until a new device entered the market: the tablet. This device offers several of the same features as laptops but with added portability. Some individuals may feel this is the new way to compute and they can’t live without their tablet, whereas others say laptops can never be replaced.

Tablets have become quite popular thanks to their extreme portability, easy to use interfaces and the wide range of ways they can be used. In many ways, they can almost replace a laptop for someone on the go. But is a tablet really a better choice for someone over a more traditional laptop? After all, laptops can also be extremely portable and have a much wider range of tasks they can be used for.

The most obvious difference between a tablet and a laptop is the lack of a keyboard. Tablet's rely solely on a touch interface on the screen for all input. This is fine when it involves mainly pointing, dragging or tapping to navigate around a program. The problems come in when you have to input text into a program when such as an email or document. Since they have no keyboard, users are required to type on virtual keyboards that have varying layouts and designs. Most people cannot type type as quickly or as accurately on a virtual keyboard. Users do have the option of adding an external Bluetooth keyboard to most tablets to make this more like a laptop but it adds costs and peripherals that must be taken with the tablet.

 Result: Laptops for those that write a lot, tablets for those that do more point interaction.

In conclusion, I'd go for a desktop computer or a laptop with equal power. Because I need power, even when losing portability to do so to be able to deal with the video editing my projects require. But probably portability won't be a problem because now a days laptops are or have catched up with PC power and thus I'll be able to have the power I require and the portability for comfort.
