You use a card reader to copy files to and from memory cards. Via the card reader, the computer can work with the memory card in the same way as with any removeable disk (CD, floppy disk, USB flash drive etc.). Memory cards are used in digital cameras, some mobile phones, and more recently in other products like satellite navigation systems and the Nintendo Wii. In all cases there are reasons why you’d want to copy files between the card and a computer. A card reader is a good way to download pictures from your camera because it’s normally faster than using the camera’s USB cable and doesn’t consume the camera’s battery power.
