3.5-inch floppy disk bids goodbye!!!

The 3.5-inch floppy disk finally come to its end as internationally known company SONY announced the stoppage of its production to give way to its memory card products availability. It hasn’t been long since the memory cards appeared and it has been increasingly in demand all over the world as many digital gadgets embraces its use.

The floppy disk began to their what so called beginning-of-the-end tenure when the USB arrived in the market and when DELL computers stopped manufacturing floppy disk drives to their computers in the year 2003. We can’t deny the fact that USB stores more of our data than the bulky and wide flatted floppy disk during those times (I’m talking about the long past). Since then, floppy disk never stopped going downwards as USB and Memory sticks continue to invade the floppy empire.

As we can recall, there were also a time when the 5.25-inch disk has had its limelight not until it was replaced by smaller 3.5inch floppy disk, and now, the time finally comes for the 3.5-inch floppy to bid its goodbye to the portable storage world.

Goodbye 3.5-inch floppy disk, you been useful to us, but you have reached your toll.

Welcome Terabyte storage devices.

Accept it! Math is difficult!

Over the years, in my former college life, I always bump to Math problems and to be honest, it wasn’t that comfortable having those kind of situations. You get to play with numbers instead of toys. Though, I always tell myself that in every math problems there will always be math answers, may it be math word problems or math numerical problems I am rest assured that I will always have a corresponding answer to those.

Algebra 2 was one of my worst nightmares during college. All these equations and solution, darn! It’s giving me headaches. Then one of my superior in work advised me to seek for Algebra help, and so I did.

I sat down in my computer at the office and searched over the net for any Algebra 2 help. Luckily, I found lots of them. There were lots that there was even algebra word problems presented and I thought it was way harder than what I was looking for and so I decided to skip it. I browsed as many pages as I can and studied somehow. I tried solving sample equations over the tutorials, some I got right, and some I end up wrong. But nevertheless, I learned a lot from the internet for my algebra class.

Math was hard, no doubt! But it’s worth the learning.
