Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Databases were originally developed to address the proliferation of master files. Before databases, organizations had multiple files with redundant data, which caused data inconsistency and wasted storage space. Databases allowed for a centralized, organized system for storing data, making it easier to access and manage. While databases can also increase speed and decrease costs, those were not the originally intended purposes.
