Floppy disk

A floppy disk is like a small square pancake that you can put information on! Imagine you have a piece of paper with a drawing on it that you want to keep safe. When you fold it up and put it in your backpack, you hope it doesn't get crumpled or lost. A floppy disk is like a special type of paper that you can put inside your computer that keeps your information safe and saves it for later.

To use a floppy disk, you need a floppy disk drive. Think of it like the slot in a piggy bank where you put your money. When you slide your floppy disk into the floppy disk drive, your computer can read the information that you saved on it. It's kind of like a secret code that your computer can only read if it's on a floppy disk.

In the old days, people used floppy disks a lot to store information like photos, music, and even computer games! The floppy disk was a really big deal because it allowed people to easily transfer information between computers. It was small and portable, but had a lot of storage space compared to other options at the time.

Nowadays, floppy disks are not used as much because there are newer, faster ways to save and share information. But they were really important when they first came out and helped start the computer revolution!
