Tapes, Floppy Disks And CD-ROMs: Storage Mediums [Nostalgia Nerd]

Gabe Pérez

30 May, 2017

Punched card based storage! Tape based storage! Floppy Disk based storage... My! What an absolute marvel of 80s hardware (or software, depending on how you want to look at it).

Join Nostalgia Nerd as he look at his favourite portable storage mediums through the ages, from punched cards, cassette tape, floppy disks, iomega zip drives, CD-ROMs up to the Internet and USB sticks.
