The German Navy plans to abandon floppy disks, which have been used since the 1990s. Alternative solutions are being considered, Engadget reports.
Replacing the floppy disks will not be an easy task. Almost everything on the ships depends on them - from ventilation systems to power generation. Saab is responsible for the maintenance of the German fleet.
Many government agencies and programs have operated on floppy disks for decades, long after the outdated storage system was no longer in use. By the way, the Japan Digital Agency recently announced that it has abandoned the use of floppy disks in its government systems.
