What are you supposed to keep away from computers and floppy disk's because they can erase information?
keep away from magnets !
Why do most hardware markers no longer build floppy drives into their computers?
Because floppy drives are irrelevant. A high density 3.5" floppy could hold 1.44 MB of information. That's tiny compared to the amount of data that will fit on a USB memory stick costing $1 or so.
Flash drives have replaced floppy disks as the perferred method of portable storage because?
They can hold more data than floppy disks and computers aren't really made with floppy disk entrances :)
does a floppy disk hold information?
A floppy disk DRIVE can read, erase and save information on a floppy disk. The disk can't do it by himself.
13 What is the main reason why the old floppy discs have died out?
Because new computers have been built without the floppy disc drive and CD discs are much faster and easier.
What disk for computers has become obsolete?
Floppy Discs
When was the floppy disc introduced to computers?
In 1970 the eight inch floppy disk drive was introduced by IBM.
When were floppy disks created?
IBM invented the floppy about 1971 for loading microcode into their System/370 computers.
Why do you need to be careful when sharing floppy disks with friends?
we have to be careful when sharing floppy disks with friends because as you know floppy disks are used for transferring small files between computers it might lead copy of small files and spread of viruses.
How many floppy drives does your system have?
Most modern computers do not have any floppy drives at all. Ones made before 2001 generally had one. Two floppy drives was common only in very old computers with no fixed storage device.
Why is a memory stick used for transferring files between computers?
Because floppy disks are obsolete, and CD-roms are more inconvenient.
Why are some computers able to boot without a floppy drive but some computers cannot?
The computers that cannot boot are usually newer models. Since the floppy drive has so little space available for data storage, it is outdated and not usually necessary on modern computers.
