It identifies ad recovers information through a computer. This is used in a scenario when the cops or someone needs to look into someones computer. When we delete items on the computer they do not actually get deleted and they can be pulled up in the future. This is important for situation such as cases when police have to get into someones computer because they have been accused of child pornography. This is used when people try to hide stuff on their computers. One example of how to find things is by using key strokes.
     Having the ability to go into someones hard drive and find hidden things is very important. It also should let everyone be well aware that when you are on the computer you can not hide anything. It is so important that people realize the computer is not like one copy of a photo. There are so m any layers within the computer and they are so deep there is always a way to find old memory or information.
