Press Release Body = 4 February, 2007
Computers and technology have long been incorporated into our schools, colleges and universities. With every development our students move one step away from the traditional learning methods of their parents and grandparents.
Over recent years data storage devices have increased capacity and speed whilst shrinking in size. Most memory sticks are now about the size of a piece of gum. Starting at 256MB storage these tiny devices hold the equivalent of one hundred and seventy five 3\" floppy diskettes.
Learning institutions have been quick to implement these memory sticks. Citing speed, portability, less impact on the environment and convenience as just some of the benefits both students and teachers are impressed with the changes.
Duke University recently distributed free iPods to all of their new students in order to encourage them to use digital content. The move to digital storage starts much younger though with the Mopo USB Memory Wristband (www.designeronline.com.au) being bought by parents for children as young as five. Whether they are hanging from their necks, their key rings or in the case of the Mopo worn around the wrist, the sight of students with memory sticks is set to be more common than the old school books.
So if you or your child are studying and haven\'t already moved into the world of digital storage then now is the time to buy a USB Memory Stick. Be sure your new memory stick is USB2.0 for speed of data transfer. Also give some thought to where you will keep your new data so that it is safe and protected (around your wrist or neck means you won\'t be digging around for it).
