4 Outdated Technologies Still Used By People
#2 Floppy Disks
Floppy Disks are those plastic square shaped storage disks that people used to put inside computers to transport information. The problem was that these disks could hold a maximum of 1.44 megabytes – data as big as a one liner song.
But these disks are still being produced as many still use them. According to British company Verbatim, over 250,000 disks are sold in England alone, not to mention how many millions would be sold in Europe.
And what’s more?
Despite the constant push for technology, many people still use super old computers. They cannot afford to buy advanced machines or it’s a sense of ignorance. Dot matrix printers are still available today. They function slowly with irritable noise with not so clear information printed, but are available at low cost. Hopefully these machines will be replaced very soon to encourage a faster working environment.
