My final shot of the project...Happy New Year! There is a disk golf course at a local park where we walked today. This was a fun project and I very much appreciated all your comments and support throughout the year. I toyed with the idea of continuing but the last couple of weeks were a struggle, from a motivation standpoint, so I will be taking a break. I still need to finish up some collages to put the final touch on the year's accomplishment. Thank you so much to the moderators for keeping this group running smoothly. It was fun!
The first floppy disk was 8" being replaced by the 5.25" which was the size that IBM's PC DOS initially required in 1981. The 5.25" floppy disk could only hold 360 kilobytes compared to the
1.44 megabyte capacity of the 3.5" diskette which surpassed that.
In 1971, Alan Shugart assigned David Noble,another employee of to continue with the invention of the 8-inch floppy disk that allowed the transfer of information from one drive to another.
It wasn't until 1976 when Alan Shugart invented the first 5.25" floppy disk when he left IBM to start Shugart Associates.
In 1981, Sony developed the 3.5" diskette. The 3.5" diskette was a more rigid disk. It replaced the 5.25" floppy disk because the recording surface was too prone for contamination through the open access area. By the 1990s, the 3.5" diskette could hold 250MB of data. This was the most common way to transfer information from one computer to another.
The term "floppy" disk came from its physical features of a magnetic storage disk encased in a plastic square or rectangular outer shell. The term diskette was used only to term the smaller sized floppy disks.
However, after 30 years, news headlines as early as 2007 began to read "Sony to end sales of 3.5 floppy disk; marks death of 30-year-old format," and "PC World announces the end of the floppy disk."
The floppy disks have simply not been able to keep up and compete with advancing technoglogies. Applications were creating more data that could fit onto a floppy disk and PCs were not manufactoring built-in disk drives anymore.
The floppy disk has been marked obsolete and replaced with CDs/DVDs and removable thumbdrives which hold 1000 times more data than a floppy disk.
Even girl geeks deserve a personalized floppy. This one is for Janina.

A scatter plot of price-vs-size of over 1200 hard disk drives available from Amazon.com, as of April 8, 2009. Note the fierce price competition at the cheap end of the 1TB line. The 1.5TB and 2TB products are still forming, and are focused on external hard drives at this time. Source: the factBlender hard disk drive price vs. size scatter plot
