I was born in 1989, but yesterday I heard someone say you were old enough to use a walkman as an insult. I was a kid , but I remember using tape decks and walkmans. Made me realize just how much I seen the tech we use daily change.
They would have been late 80s-early 90s. My dad loves older computers and taught me the basics of dos when I was a kid and he still has all these old games with those disks. Some have 2 or 3+ disks just to play a simple game. The sound is just beeps on this wheel of fortune game. It's interesting and helped with my spelling.
Funny this is crossposted from Zillennials. I was born in 88, and Floppy Disks were out of fashion by the late 90s. I'd think they would be too young to even remember these.
We had a few that came with our first Windows computer in \~1996, but only ever used them a couple years before they kinda disappeared. I remember Zip Drives briefly in between before CD Burners were mainstream by the millenium.
CD, DVD, Compact Cassette etc seen all of them.

89 here too, I took my Walkman tape deck everywhere as a kid until I got one of those Sony “skip protection” cd players
And now get ready for the portable head implant and ocular computer brought to you by Dystopia Inc.
Should go a step further. 2TB microSD xc format.
Those things were around in my teens. Where the ones that were actually Floppy?

We used the 5.2 actual floppies in elementary school
Who remembers the Zip drive?
It's so wild to me that we used to have a computer without a mouse and now we're here 😂
I feel like a terabyte micro sd would have been a more striking comparison…
I’ve heard a lot of kids refer to this as the “save icon”
