Tokyo's Government Is Finally Saying Goodbye to the Floppy Disk, Kind Of
Why? Because the maintenance fees are starting to add up.
Today 10:40AM (25.10.2021)
»Sony may have stopped making floppy disks over a decade ago, but that hadn’t stopped the Tokyo government from relying on the obsolete tech. At least, not until now. Kind of. As part of modernization efforts, the local authorities are starting to phase out floppies in favor of digital systems, according to Nikkei Asia.
The key word here is starting and Nikkei Asia reports that some officials are only doing so reluctantly. Meguro Ward, for example, has been using floppy disks to manage payroll. While some wards—Tokyo’s sub-districts—are already done with the transition, others won’t be until 2026.«
