Feels like I’m in a time machine rowing back the days 1.4MB was as mighty as a BluRay disc, and now I’m starting to feel older. As Floppy disk were the first steps of mobile storage that comes up to terabytes today, no doubt that its inexistence will be missed.

Technology moves really past, now Floppy Disk was a culminating part of computer history –nostalgia of abacus computing. However, ridiculously this corruptible piece of storage seeds other forms of advance storage –cloud and Google Docs wasn’t the first one.
