Jun 17, 2008 When technology failsTo my hard drive, I thought we had something special. I know our relationship was short-lived - a mere three months - but I felt that we had really connected. You were there for me, retrieving my files and storing them without question. I felt safe putting you in charge of my photos and my music. I really felt connected to you, hard drive. But, alas, our relationship was not to be: there are bad sectors on you. I really wish I had seen this earlier. How could I have been so stupid to be lured by your 7200 rpm? Don’t worry about me, hard drive. I’ll be ok. You were still under warranty, so, as Beyonce says, I’ll have another you in a minute. With fond memories, ——————————— As someone who makes semiconductor devices, I’m still in awe when processors and memory work. There are God knows how many layers in these things and if one small part fails, the whole system is shot. Companies like Intel and AMD have hundreds of engineers working for years to design and optimize new hardware. It’s really a small miracle that anything works at all. But still, when my own hard drive dies, grrrrrrr.
