Tomorrow's Floppy?
October 11, 2005
Remember when you couldn't go anywhere without one of those 3.5", 1.44 MB floppies? Me too, I mean think of all the mileage you could get out of 1.44 MB (Not just 1, but 1.44). You could even buy these cool little plastic containers for your desk to hold all of them. As I was cleaning out an old box in my office, I ran across one of these containers full of disks from 5 years ago or so consisting of some pictures and old papers from school. Just as my curiosity peaked, I realized that none of the four computers in the house had a floppy drive that would read them. Talk about 15 minutes of fame...
So, five years from now, what media will be collecting dust in our old boxes? CDs, I am looking in your general direction, with your measly 700 MB of storage...

I'm looking at a now worthless pile of ZIP disks that I couldn't live without at college. ;)
