While Gen Zers might not be aware of what floppy disks are,
millennials and older generations definitely remember them.

Floppy disks were invented and made by IBM, and before CDs
became a thing they were widely used.

The first floppy disks were made in the late 1960s and they were
8 inches in diameter. 

The industry has evolved a lot and today nobody uses them
anymore as USB flash drives, memory cards, and cloud storage
are easily available.
