In current days one doesn t feel himself protected from a data loss while working with a computer. For example, MS Word software has the so called autosaving feature, when a document is being periodically saved to the disk but even ignoring the fact, that many users simply turn this feature off because it meddles into their work, starting in the most improper moment and doesn t allow them to work awhile, it cannot protect you from bugs of Word itself when it hangs on during autosaving. This could be eliminated by tighter testing and also by foreseeing different possible situations that could happen. The second cause is the situation, when a software forgets to save the data . It happens because the developer of this software has done nothing to care about the data safety, for it would require an extra work for him.
Nobody likes to fulfill an extra work so the responsibility of the data saving moves to a user.
There is a picture in the clipboard. Yes to the question about clipboard. Imagine such a task to manually arrange about the 50 icons. Some properties of the MS Forms objects while using them for example in Excel erase its value in case of even tiny error. But such things happen everyday in the computer s world.
