Using your laptop on your lap, it is dangerous because of the heat can cause burns to your legs. The SSD hard drive does not generate heat. If you drop your laptop, your screen will not probably survive but your SSD will survive any major falls.
The health care industry will be able use SSD because it has the ability to access data and it is more durable. However, the cost is the problem for the average PC user. The healthcare industry will be able to handle five hundred dollars or more for a Solid State Drive (Perenson, 2007). It would be very handy in the Emergency Room which means faster service and less waiting.

Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteHospitals have more access to funding so the upgrade to the SSD should not be a problem for them. The benefits of faster service would certainly outweigh the cost. Do you think the SSD upgrade could potentially save lives from faster service?
Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteThe heat and rotation also cause the device to break down much sooner. The SSD will help make our computing devices more durable.
You are right on target!
