And the vast majority of floppies, too...

The information on them lives on, though. The contents of the hundreds of floppies I once owned migrated to a handful of zip discs, then to an even smaller number of CD-R discs, and currently live on a couple of USB hard drives, with the really important stuff also backed up at another site.

Digital information is easy to lose, but it can be preserved. It takes some care, but that's true for all types of information carrier.
