In football, a player who usually moves around the center line of the field is called a midfielder.
The term middle , in one of its most common meanings, represents half of something . For example: “ Cut that orange in half and give me a half, please,” “I've already read half the book, I have about 250 pages left,” “Yesterday I dropped a plate and it broke in the middle.”
Middle, on the other hand, is what is in a central position or between two points, things or subjects : “Get out of the way, you won't let me walk” , “The player was surrounded, but managed to sneak between two defenders.” ” , “Do you see those three houses? “Juliana lives in the one in the middle.”
Another use of the term is linked to the characteristics or particularities of a time period, a community or a geographical region: “The average Argentine is chatty and poorly structured,” “The average temperature in this part of the world does not reach 10ºC,” “ “He is an exceptional artist, who surpasses the average.”
Different uses of the term
A means is something that serves to achieve a certain end and a conducive and useful action to obtain something that is sought: “My father works in a media company” , “The bad thing about this town is that there are few means of transportation” , “Coffee conversations are often the means to close great deals.”
The midfielder also allows us to name in football and other sports disciplines the players who are located near the center line of the field: “We have to retain the ball, I would put another midfielder and remove a striker,” “I play midfielder.” ” .
This word, used as an adverb , can modify adjectives that indicate negative attributes with the intention of qualifying or minimizing their meaning: “I think this man is kind of stupid,” “Your brother is kind of slow, but don't worry, we are going to help him.” .
A hard drive or hard drive is an information storage medium.
Information storage media
In the field of computing , it is essential to store information for later consultation, as well as programs so that they can be executed as many times as desired. The objects that fulfill this purpose are called storage media and have very varied shapes and functionality. They can be classified into:
* magnetic type disks , such as hard drives and flexible or floppy disks;
* optical discs , where we find CD, DVD, Blu-ray and the discontinued HD DVD;
* magneto-optical disks , such as the popular Zip, Jaz and SuperDisk from Iomega.
Of course the list continues with magnetic tapes and memory cards. The latter are usually associated with the acronym SD, in its MicroSD, SDHC variants, but there are many more, whether standardized such as Compact Flash or custom made for the products of a particular company, such as those used by the Sony portable console and the already forgotten Memory Sticks.
The historical evolution
In the beginning, media such as CDs did not allow end users to write data , but were used to distribute music, applications and games, with the benefit of having hundreds of times more space than floppy disks . As time went by, the market began to offer recorders and blank CDs, however limited to a single copy. The inevitable evolution of this format brought with it discs capable of being rewritten, which was repeated in the generations that followed: DVD and Blu-ray.
It is curious that a computer uses so many different types of storage media, which vary not only in technology but in performance and durability . Hard drives, for example, run the risk of becoming unusable because they consist of mechanical components, which is also the reason for the level of noise that some models produce. The market trend is to make flash memory the only type, eliminating many problems and offering smaller, faster and more resistant devices.
