plug and play versus installation

plug and play is usually a device that is plugged into a USB port and once plugged in it works instantly. some examples are mouses, speakers, and keyboards.

Installation requires you to go through an actual process of installing usually requiring you to input important data and also usually needs a cd with software.

Plug and play is faster to use but one con of it is the fact that once the computer is off all memory of the device is lost. so it would have to be re installed. also you cant get software updates and sometimes technical support. Installation does take a long time but where ever you take the computer on or off the software will always be on it and you also have access to software upgrades.
