Disk Brooch
Date:
second half 7th century
Culture:
Frankish
The dress of Frankish women generally consisted of a tunic, cinched by a belt from which hung an array of pendants. A wrap or cloak went over the tunic. Shoes and hosiery, fastened with buckles, covered the legs. Earrings, necklaces, and hairpins completed the ensemble.
Aspects of this dress changed from the 300s to the 600s, and brooches in particular convey changes in taste. From the 300s to the 500s, pairs of small brooches, in an array of inventive shapes, held the wrap in place. By the 600s, a single large disc brooch, usually elaborately decorated, served the same function. No other piece of jewelry is more characteristic of Frankish dress than the brooch, and no other better demonstrates the virtuosity of Frankish metalworkers.

Inspired by the tarot, which I have studied for well over a decade. the three of disks represents work. It can be finding a job, but at its heart points to sacred work - work that gives us real joy, inspires us, and gives back to the world. The work we were born to do.
(Life Cycle)
A floppy disk was named due to its ability to flop as a person waves it in their hand (As to why this is a good idea is another topic of discussion.) People needed a portable device which could store information and be passed around to one another with ease.
1. Introduction
The first design, invented by IBM in the late 1960s and used in the early 1970s was first a read-only then later became read-write format. They were mostly used by colleges, universities, private businesses, and governments. The size was 8 inches.
2. Growth
As personal computers started to increase in popularity in the late 70s, demand grew for storing information and playing games. The size changes to 5 1/4 inches and stores at its highest 1.2 MB.
3. Maturity
They become encased in a rigid form and drop in size to 3 1/2 inches. Despite their small size, they were considered more reliable in keep the information in tact. They also stored at their highest 1.44MB of data.
4. Decline
As USB connector started to become popular on PCs and Macs after 1998, this allow external hard drives and flash drives to become. These devices along with email and other storage options became more reliable than floppy disks.

I spotted this in the supply room at my office. An unused room was transformed into a supply room. In the process of stocking the room, somebody found this old floppy disk case.
I don't know how old this is, but it does say "Made in USA" on it.
I cropped out one of the areas containing the yellow disks and enlarged the photograph. It is an interesting phenomina.
