We were just talking about floppy disks the other day and our 20-something year old boys just stared at us like we were crazy. One finally said, “Why were they called floppy disks when they didn’t even flop?” We explained that the bigger ones were flexible and did flop, but then the smaller, hard plastic ones came along that didn’t flop but were still referred to as floppy disks. More blank stares.
512k floppies, then the MASSIVE 1.44mb floppy, then the holy moly 100mb zip drive.
I just got a 5tb drive that fits in my pocket, lol....
