THE 3 1/2" FLOPPY DISK

The 3 1/2" floppy disk is younger than Katie Dochen.


In this, the era of nano technology, zip drives & iPhones, it might seem that the 3 1/2" floppy is a thing of the far distant past. But lo & behold, the 3 1/2" floppy, invented as the alternative to the larger 8" and 5 1/4" floppy disks, is in fact younger than our very own Katie Dochen!

All right -- to be fair, Katie was a mere 1 year old when the 3 1/2" floppy was invented, but it's still an important one-year differential... mainly because it gives us an excuse to add floppy disks to this distinguished list! We would, however, be remiss if we didn't mention that although the 3 1/2" floppy disk has become outdated, Katie Dochen only gets better with age.
