Sony Ending Floppy Disk Production

What? They still make floppy disks? Sony is one of just a handful of companies that still produces the once popular storage device called a floppy disk. You probably remember them from their heyday of the 90s. They were a little square disk that you plugged into your computer. Their popularity has been replaced by much smaller and more portable USB memory sticks. Sony will permanently discontinue production in 2011.

If you still have a bunch of floppy disks laying around and you are the creative type, there are lots of fun things you can do.

Obsolete or not, floppy disks were once a pretty good storage device. They were durable and for the technology of the time, they held a lot of information. Unfortunately, times do change and so do storage formats.

Well, some storage formats never change. Unless humankind advances to the point where reading becomes obsolete (let's hope not for the sake of my career), paper records will never go out of style.
