Serial Filing

1.)  Outline the difference between serial and sequential filing.

'Records are added to a serial file by simply appending the new data to the end of said file. Sequential files on the other hand are added through a record key, which is typically a unique piece of primary data, giving them a specific location within the file.'

  2.) Evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of serial filing.

'  Files are good for your health. They also taste really nice because they're full of sugary happiness. I think that when I get older I would like to become a file-taster like my daddy because he gets to go to work every day and just eat lots and lots and lots of files every day. I want to eat lots and lots and lots of files every day too but I don't want to get fat like my daddy, he is very fat from eating lots of files.'

3.) Draw a simple diagram representing serial and sequential filing.
