    Who needs optical discs when you have super cheap hard drives?

    Stavros Skamagkis who wants to preserve their data for hundreds of years.. Hard Drives fail and don't survive an EMP (unless properly stored)..

    Morten Lynge I've always known CDs and DVDs have a "short" life expectation, if it survives more than a decade, it's a win. You can't really rely on more than that. M discs are being tested and surviving all adverse conditions.. but if they will last a millennium, just the future knows...

    Jessica Meyer That's why I always have backups on another hard drive. Optical discs are very expensive, store very little data and are very impractical (you need to constantly be inserting and removing them). Hard disks you just insert them once and you are writing lots of data countless times.

Originally shared by Corina Marinescu The theory of multiple intelligences is a theory of intelligence that differentiates it into specific (primarily sensory) 'modalities', rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. This model was proposed by Howard Gardner in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In the heyday of the psychometric and behaviorist eras, it was generally believed that intelligence was a single entity that was inherited; and that human beings – initially a blank slate – could be trained to learn anything, provided that it was presented in an appropriate way. Nowadays an increasing number of researchers believe precisely the opposite; that there exists a multitude of intelligences, quite independent of each other; that each intelligence has its own strengths and constraints; that the mind is far from unencumbered at birth; and that it is unexpectedly difficult to teach things that go against early ‘naiv...
