I've only needed a USB Port (Type 1), once in the last 2-3 years.

If you insist you need one, order these, they're inexpensive.

Amazon.com

While you're at it, order one of these ... they're cheap:

Amazon.com: uni SD Card Reader, High-Speed USB C to Micro SD Card Adapter USB 3.0 Dual Slots, Memory Card Reader for SD/Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC/MMC, Compatible with MacBook Pro/Air, Chromebook, Android Galaxy : Electronics

(I assume your MacBook Air has Thunderbolt or a USB C port?)

MacBook Air is designed to do everything "over the air", as in wireless networking, BlueTooth, etc.. "Ports" are lacking, as that's not the design intent of that model.
Brian, thanks for your help. Right now I'm not sure. I'm not great with computers and cell smartphones. The Mac is a new world to me and I'm just going slow.
