Following this trend of development our favorite musicians are now offering us the chance to own their music, not on a CD but a flash drive instead. The flash drive concept is not a bad idea but just like anything it has its pros and cons. For one thing, an USB flash drive can hold a lot more songs than a CD ever could, and you never have to worry about a scratched flash drive ruining your music. While those are pure advantages over CDs they still have flaws such as data loss. By not removing your flash drive properly from the computer you risk the chance of losing your files or corrupting them. “Oh, bye new music…” Expect that to happen to you forgetful ones at some point. Also how many times have you left your flash drive in a computer you were using and walked away? Exactly, a flash drive is small and easy to lose. If it’s not left in a computer at work, school, or anywhere else you have access; it’s lost in your purse, car, house, or worse stolen.

Of course, this is not enough to stop things now; people have chosen and I can’t say it is a horrible decision. Overall it’s easy and convenient what more can you ask for? Soon our movies will arrive in a DVD-shaped case sans DVD and in its place, a neat little flash drive. Although, they are still in the idea stages of flash drive food, it’s only a matter of time. I can taste it now.
