Wait...isn't she a computer?  Why is she using a separate computer to type up her resume?

Don't know that we've ever seen any non-sentient (unsentient?  insentient?  asentient?) robots n the QCverse.  The battlebot was sentient, as was the defense array Hanners used to chat with...
Wasn't the defence array something from a guest strip?
No. http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=665

EDIT: What if Momo is still so pleased to have fingers that she just wants to use them wherever possible, even if it's something inefficient like typing into another computer?

My take on it is; just because she's a computer, it doesn't mean that she has word processing facilities installed.

There's actually a collection of reasons (which does include the aforementioned security concerns but also includes personal paranoia on the part of some of the cyborgs and also the simple inability to afford the tech required to do it the other way) why some people prefer to type, which actually makes it more realistic as far as I'm concerned - just as there is no one reason why ASCII became the de facto standard for text transmission and then stayed the standard for twenty years and still exists despite ostensibly being replaced by Unicode.

Why did Data record logs using the Enterprise computer instead of himself? 

Because it made him more human.  Or because it was a lousy excuse for inner monologue filler.

What happens to the record if Data is destroyed on an away mission?

Data is impressive but he certainly does not have Wifi.

His combadge might generate a WiFi hotspot. I'll bet he has an unlimited Data plan.

But his neural net doesn't link wirelessly, otherwise the Borg would have been able to hack in there and fuck shit up.
