Electrical surges can overload a computer (or really any plugged in device) and the instant jump in power can fry the computer, ruining the hardware.  viruses are made to invade youre computer through software and some viruses have the goal of finding personal information or trying to get money.  this can be done by a virus locking down your computer until you send $_____ to an account or buy something.

What technology standard is commonly used today for hard drives?
Lisa [10]
Solid-state drive (SSD) is the commonly used technology these days for hard drives .It has pretty advantages over hard disk drive(HDD) .
One advantage is ,its speed is unmatchable to HDD and the data is stored in microchips. Unlike HDD,which uses a mechanical arm with a read/write head to move around and read information from the right location on a storage platter ,it collects information directly from microchips .It is simply the oversized version of USB stick .More reliable and sustainable.
