A Geek That Hates Computers

Ok, well hate is a strong word. It's a love-hate relationship really. I recently spent shitloads of money on a new desktop PC because I was fed up of the piece of crap I was using going wrong every other week... Within two months my new PC wouldn't boot up. Absolutely fucking typical right?

Having worked in the IT industry really didn't help to nurture my love for this technology, in fact PCs became the bane of my very existence. Ask anyone in IT support the same thing, PCs become less a tool for getting things done and more a tool that needs constant care and attention and repair.

One thing becoming more mainstream that I really think is going to change the reliability of computing the world over is solid state hard drives. Hard drives are the last critical component in PCs/laptops that have moving parts and are often the first components to go. Anyone who has lost data due to a failed hard drive can know just how annoying this is.

In the next few years we can hopefully see solid state drives being introduces into servers too and assuming costs go down in line with mechanical drives cost saving should be seen both from sides of client and service relationships.

Another interesting discovery made recently is the fan with no moving parts which we should see making its way into our home pcs and laptop soon.

Altogether there's a lot of interesting things happening.

I can't believe this post started so hateful. Like I said... Love-Hate relationship...

OK, so assuming our PCs are kitted out with these fancy solid state drives and that their capacity is something close to useful, what's next.
