True and true! Before the huge floppies there were tape reels and boxes of punch cards! :)

But books from hundreds of years ago are still readable.

I have masses of outdated storage items - remember way back when
floppies were the size of a large pizza and the disk drive could serve
as a table? And then floppies the size of a saucer, and then no-
longer-floppy and smaller still? Zip disks? And now flash drives?

If you didn't keep moving your data along as each new method came
along, then you lost your data.
