Au Revoir Floppies!

It’s time to check your work desk and file cabinets once more. Now, if you see a 3.5 inch floppy disk somewhere, I suggest you either throw it straight to the trash bag or if not, have it laminated, ready for future use/display at computer museums. Why? Because the days of this disk are finally numbered!

A month ago, Sony actually discontinued sales of the floppies to its international market – except for India and a few other countries. In fact, the company already stopped producing floppy discs September last year.

Last week, Sony announced that they will also end Japanese sales of the 3.5 inch floppy disk by March next year. Now, that’s an official death sentence to this ‘antique’ file storage which has been around for almost 30 years now. My verdict: “At last!” After all, it seems that Sony is among the last to let go of the floppies which were slowly driven to extinction by the existence of CDs, DVDs, USB drives, and external hard drives. Among the first to bid farewell were Apple in 1998 and Dell in 2003.
