How To Never Loose A Document Due To A PC Crash
My friend Janel had been writing a series of soap operas for a few years but ended up loosing all her work due to a computer crash. J. doesn’t have a flash drive yet so I gave her this nifty suggestion for never loosing a document.
Recommendation #1 - Save your document in google docs. Google docs allows you to upload, create & save documents in your google online account. This way, even if your computer crash you or if you’re half way around the world you will still have access to your files. Google docs even gives you a private email address so my friend J. has the option to email her soap opera series into her google docs account without having to log into her google docs account.

Recommendation #2 - Save your documents in google notepad. Google notepad is more simplistic because it doesn’t give you all the fancy formatting options. But it’s a good way to save quick notes or journals quickly. It also saves while you write so even if you loose your internet connection you won’t loose your document. Signup Free Here
Recommendation #3 - Get a flash drive. Flash Drives have quickly replaced floppy disks because they’re about the size of your thumb and they can hold 100+ times more documents/music/pictures/or anything digital than a floppy disk. Some new computers don’t even have the old floppy drive anymore. Flash drives use the usb port on your computer so you know you can plug it in at any computer knowing that it would work. Yea, they do call it a thumb drive too.
