 Memory cards are a popular physical medium for transferring files, and have become smaller in size as technology has advanced |
Sneakernet is an informal term describing the transfer of electronic information, especially computer files, by physically moving removable media such as magnetic tape, floppy disks, compact discs, USB flash drives (thumb drives, USB stick), or external hard drives from one computer to another. This is usually in lieu of transferring the information over a computer network. The name is a tongue-in-cheek sound-alike to ethernet, and refers to the use of someone wearing sneakers as the transport mechanism for the data.
