How To: Defrag Your Computer - Jeffrey Branzburg, techLearning
Defrag: What is it? Remember the old days, when we would write or type on paper? We would start at the top of the sheet, and keep writing until we were done. We could then take that five-page book report and neatly file it away. Imagine if we had needed to store the first paragraph in one part of our file cabinet, the second paragraph somewhere else, and so on. That would really slow us down when we were trying to get the file out of the cabinet. Yet that's kind of how a computer works.... "Defrag" is short for defragment, the process of putting the various parts of files you have saved in a contiguous place on your hard disk.
