A Taxi Drove Over The Laptop
It’s just another busy
day in London. You’re walking briskly toward the corner. The “Walk” sign is
just changing to “Don’t Walk,” and you join the tail end of the throng crossing
the street. It’s cold. You reach up with one hand to adjust your coat collar to
keep the wind out, and as you do, your laptop strap slides off your other
shoulder. Your laptop bag bounces off your knee and skitters off to the side.
Bucking against the hurrying crowd, you turn around, and just as you start to
reach for your laptop, a taxi pulls away from the curb and runs over it. You
hear a sickening sound of cracking plastic, and just like that, your laptop ends
its time on Earth.
What is your first
thought? I’ll tell you what it should be: “Oh, no, I have to buy a new laptop!”
Here is the thought that
shouldn’t even cross your mind: “Oh, no, I’ve lost my data!”
Do you worry about data
loss? This worry is called “Data Anxiety,” and it’s completely, 100%
preventable.
You should have multiple
copies of your data, and you should have your data in multiple locations. This
is how you prevent Data Anxiety.
