Despite what computer companies may say, people today are still not heading towards a paperless society. We still accumulate so much printouts, documents, and texts. Office storage cabinets and home shelves are simply not enough for the papers, not to mention the knickknacks and bric-a-bracs, which gather dust in houses and offices.

A solution for this lack of space is self storage. Whether you need just a small closet or several boxes or a whole stockroom, many companies now offer customizable self storage solutions. This solution is offered everywhere. Across the USA, there are Washington self storage companies, Seattle storage, New York City storage—wherever you are, there’s a storage company ready to serve you.

And some companies will store anything from the files of a small business to cord storage.

Cord storage is becoming a very popular way to save not space but lives for the future. Modern medicine has hit upon a way to cure illnesses suffered by members of the same family.

Just after being born, a child’s umbilical blood is preserved in bags or vials inside permanent storage freezers. The stem cells obtained from the umbilical cord are believed to be excellent treatment for a variety of major diseases and serious medical conditions, including Alzheimers, diabetes, heart disease, and leukemia. The cells can cure the illness of not just the person from which the blood was drawn but his or her family as well. This method can also be used for blood and marrow transplants.

Many blood banks, both private and public, all over the world are now offering cord storage. In the United States of America alone, there 20 facilities already offering public cord storage. The San Antonio storage in Texas called the Cord Blood Bank, even received a state grant to set up a list of cord-blood units that the public could tap into. Other stem cell banks are popping up in Chicago, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, Indiana, and California.

More and more people are going into this type of storage because it gives the promise of good health even into the far future.
