Storage. Some would love to have more of it, others don't know what to do with it. Filing something away, or putting a box in a spare room – any way of setting something aside is a method of storage.
It isn't just physical storage, either. It could be for energy, such as solar batteries Gladstone to store (what else?) excess solar power – or the lack of such batteries. It could also be in digital form, like someone posting vacation photos to Facebook.
All told, finding a place to archive or set aside something brings with it its own brand of problems, each one unique to the circumstances. Here's a quick look.
1. Digital storage. When you think about it, the amount of data that's stored on the Web or in the 'cloud' is staggering. Millions, if not billions, of people posting photos, chronicling their lives one tweet at a time, posting journals.
While it means you don't have a huge box of photo albums or journals cluttering up your house, as technology advances, you could lose access to all those unless you backed them up somehow. Let's face it – the amount of stuff you have on the Web would take days, maybe even months, to print out. You'd give your home printer a run for its money.
2. Email storage. Whether it's your own personal inbox, or the small business server your office uses to keep everything running, eventually, that inbox is going to overflow. Even starting a new email account won't stem the flow for very long.
3. Long-term storage. Some places have storage lockers that people can rent out for at least a month, and they can hold anything. However, if storage space is far from home, you're not likely to check it if something goes missing. You might even forget what exactly you'd stored in the locker.
Another problem with renting long-term storage lockers is when you forget to pay the rent for a set number of months (in California, it's usually 3 months). When that happens, an auctioneer can sell your stuff to pawn shop or antique shop owners.
What they earn from your locker's contents might not be enough to pay for, say, camping solar panels Rockhampton, but at least they earned something off of it – and you didn't.
