Did you knew that a long time ago, between 2000 and 2006, something called a floppy disk was used as external storage?
This was a device used to carry information on the computer at that time. Some people do not even know that such a thing was used in those days and although this is new to kids living today, We are lucky to be able to use this.
Anyway,
in the 70s it wasn't like today. not large amounts of information, How
to exchange small amounts of information between computers, This was a
troubling question for IBM computer researchers. The 8 Inch Disk is the
answer they found to that question.The researchers were able to put the
disk in a plastic package that folds in front and back. And then they
Created a 5 1/4 inch disk.When this disk is waving it folds in front and
back. That is the flop. So That's how the floppy disk got its name.

Before
1987 This was very popular among computer users and other peoples And
then this disk was then fabricated with a sturdy cover with a diameter
of 3 1/2 inches. Now it does not floppy. These are what we call
diskettes. like a biscuit.
In
those days you could pack a 3-minute song and keep a medium size of
seven or eight novels. That is, 1.44 megabytes Information can be
swallowed and These diskettes were sold in large numbers around the
world.But by the late 90s, there was The need disappeared with the
advancement of computer information storage technology. How small 1MB is
today and You know the audio song is at least 3MB.
Anyway,
in the year 1997 alone, 5 billion floppy disks were produced.At that
time the world population was not so much.But the following year, IBM
introduced the iMac computer and sent the floppy disk back home. By
making an iMac computer, they gave computer users a whole new path.

Then
came the options to store more than five hundred times the amount of
information that can be stored on a floppy disk.CD-RW is one such
option. Keyring Drive is another such option. Eleven floppy disks
information can store on a keyring drive as small as a pen case.Some
keyring drive came at that time and it could store information on five
hundred floppy disks.I think this keyring drive may be something similar
to flash drives today.
Even if we Hard to find a floppy disk today, we can never forget the benefits of floppy disk in those days.
SO GOODBYE "FLOPPY DISK", AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING...
