         <description><![CDATA[<div>Punch cards were the first storage method developed by Basile Bouchon.&nbsp;They were used before the development of computers. The holes represented a series of instructions. The punch cards were used to control looms and to play the piano. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This form of memory had multiple inventors. They were&nbsp; Frederick Viehe, An Wang, Jan Rajchman, and Jay Forrester. All claimed to have come up with the idea. This method involved using doughnut shaped magnets. The magnets had magnetic charges of 0 and 1. These worked as on/off switches. Using the technology, though, was complicated and killed time.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Twistor Magnetic Memory is known to&nbsp; have been invented in the year of 1957 by Andrew Bobeck. Instead of using doughnut shaped magnets like Magnetic Core memory this for uses interwoven wires. This product was cheaper, consumed less current, and was lighter. Only selected areas would be magnetized while using this memory storage form. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Bubble memory was first made by Andrew Bobeck in 1967 while working at Bell Telephone Laboratories. It was made up of a thin magnetic film placed on a piece of garnet. On the top of the film there were small magnetized areas. These areas were known as bubbles which stored bits of data. Bubble memory was first used in a telephone system but would later mostly be used in advanced applications. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>IBM is the company that is credited with the starting of the early evolution of magnetic disk storage. The company invented the floppy disk and the hard disk drive. The hard disk drive was later sold to Hitachi in 2003. In 1976 Allan Shugart improved the floppy disk to be 3.5 inches so it could fit in most computers unlike the companies 8 inch one. The new disk was cheap to make and could store 110 kilobytes of data. Both of these disks remained popular until the year the mid 1990s.</div>]]></description>

In 1987 he began inventing the NAND flash which stored files and read and wrote functions. Then a computer architect from Intel took it and developed the standard USB flash drive. In 1989 M-Systems created the DiskOnChip which is similar to the flash drives of today. </div>]]></description>
