Step 3What's Inside?
Let's talk a bit about what's inside, the contents and the structure. This thumb drive contains all your important digital files including but not limited to the following:
1. Important contacts
2. Health Records
3. Important Documents
4. Family & friend's photos
5. Photos and info of your home and possessions
6. Favorite music and videos
7. Online bookmarks & passwords
8. Photos and info about your vehicles
9. Portable applications you can run right from this drive
10. Ways to secure this drive and it's contents
Now I don't know how much stuff you have and I only chose the 2gb flavor of this drive so your choices may vary. It's better to have more than not enough.
TIP: Compile all this stuff in a folder on your desktop. Right click on it to see how much space it takes up and buy the appropriate size drive.
HOW TO READ THEM-
In order to view the files contained on your drive, you need an application either on the host computer where you insert the drive or on the drive itself. Since it's suppose to be self contained, I'll recommend applications to run from this drive. More about those later.
HOW THEY ARE ORGANIZED-
I like to take a simple approach to this and file them in folders as listed above but you can do it anyway you like.
TIP- In an emergency, health care providers need to know where your vital records are so make a "Read Me First" text file and put it in the root directory so they can find it easily. You may want to wear a wrist bracelet or neck pendent to tell others where to find the thumb drive.
