What computers, cellphones, tablets, etc. are and aren’t

Computers and similar electronic devices are useful tools that allow us to do things more efficiently than what used to be possible.  That said, computers and tablets are not like those in Star Trek, seemingly all-knowing, with access to large amounts of information in the blink of an eye.  In fact the devices are not much faster than say a tortoise is to a slug in comparison to what we want to believe.  The closest thing to anything in Star Trek is the smartphone and it combines two devices from the show, the communicator and the tricorder.

What all these devices have in common is that memory and storage space is limited.  It seems to me that most people seem to believe that they can continue to open programs and save pictures, music and documents forever without any thought of running out of space.  These same people are always surprised when it they are unable to save a file or the computer stops because they fail to follow the same rules that they apply to spending money, that all things are finite.

That's where I come in.  I can upgrade your computer memory or storage space up to the limits of the system board.
