Disposable Downloads

June 20, 2008

Earlier today I downloaded Firefox 3 (everyone does), installed and deleted the setup file.
Nowadays, this is a typical routine, after installing, we delete the setup files / installers as it is deemed used.
This was not I experienced 5 yrs ago. Dowloading files, installers, ebooks, white papers – was tiring especially if you do not have download managers. When the browser blinks ‘download complete’ (wooohooo), I immediately backed-up those files as if they were jewels and can be boasted to friends :)
Today, what you want is what you get, and after using you throw it to the ‘recycle bin’. No back-ups needed. When you want to format your pc and you do not have the installers/drivers? well download download, download and download. Then delete all… hehe .
What’s next? disposable PCs?
