F is for Floppy Disk

The floppy disk came in a many shapes and forms, but they all served the same function. These small square objects were a portable form of data storage for computers. A drive specifically built to read these devices where built onto most computers until they were eventually replaced by other data storage devices such as zip disks, CDs, DVDs, and flash memory cards, all of which had greater capacity and durability than the floppy. The rapid decline of this once ubiquitous device has lead to some interesting reuse projects for all the abandoned floppies out there.
