The floppy drive is slowly, but surely, becoming
obsolete. Only capable of storing 1.44 megabytes of data per
disk; it has very limited usefulness. Storage space on CDs
and DVDs is hundreds or thousands of times greater. Quick and
easy portable data storage is conveniently handled by USB flash
drives.
Once all software is designed to support other mediums, little
or need will exist for the trusty old floppy.
