The floppy disk is still the icon for saving, but was it the first floppy, and what does storage look like today? Pickr calls into ABC Brisbane to talk disk storage of the past and present.
Have you ever wondered why we still see the floppy disk when we save things in software, and what will replace it? Pickr’s editor Leigh Stark calls into Katherine Feeney on ABC Brisbane Afternoons to talk that, and to get sentimental about the properly floppy disks, plus what storage is like today. There are questions from callers and memories of old storage technology, plus tips on how you can keep important files backed up today.
I'll be getting sentimental with old computer tech around 2.10PM today on @abcbrisbane with @katherinefeeney, talking about floppy disks, plus where we are now.
