Society & Culture in the US

We called Ted ‘Mister Data Storage’ back in college. Make no mistake. We loved the guy, but he was weird, really, really weird. Mister data storage used to strut around campus wearing this big, thick coat with a lot of pockets. And hanging out of all of these pockets? You guessed it, my man. Data storage devices! CD’s, discs, computer memory cards, IBM ports, wires, sockets, and even old Playstation memory cards. I had no idea why he had all of that on him, but he always claimed he found uses for everything. Still, if you ever had a problem with your computer, if Windows was crashing, if your document wasn’t saving, if you needed a CD to burn something on, Ted was always there for you. Weird guy for sure, but I still miss him. He always seemed older than his years despite his moppy brown hair, but no one expected him to keel over from a heart attack. It wasn’t like he ate any greasier fast food than the rest of us. In fact, with him running around campus all the time to help with everybody’s computer problems, he probably got more exercise than any of us did. He was only 22 and it was a month after graduation where he took a shower and it hit him. I still don’t believe it.
