Floppy disk:

It is also called a diskette or just disk, is a type of disk storage composed of a disk of thin and flexible magnetic storage medium, sealed in a rectangular plastic carrier lined with fabric that removes dust particles. Floppy disks are read and written by a floppy disk drive (FDD).

Floppy disks, initially as 8-inch (200 mm) media and later in 5¼-inch (133 mm) and 3½-inch (90 mm) sizes, were a ubiquitous form of data storage and exchange from the mid-1970s well into the 2000s.

By 2010, computer motherboards are rarely manufactured with floppy drive support, moreover, the format of the floppy disks are usually handled by older equipment. therefore, they were replaced by other storage methods like; USBs, external hard drives, CDs

34- “Unplug” yourself for a day

Unplugged for one day.

i was unplugged for one day by not using any of electronic devices including televisions, phones, Ipad, and computers. i prepared for that by not charging my laptop and phone the day before, so i can not use them the day after which is the unplugged day, i felt like i do not want to enter this challenge because i felt that i will be lonely without communicating with my family members who are far away from me. Also, I could not even thought about loosing the connection between my friends and I. the feeling of disconnect between people is so bad and the unplugging make you feel like this. during the period of unplugging i was planning to go out with my sisters so i could not feel the affect of unplugging on me. also, i went to the kitchen and i have cooked some cookies for my family, but at the same time i felt that i want to open the Ipad to make sure that i follow the same ingredients and the same procedure. after the unplugging i felt that the life returns to my soul, and everything returns to what it was before. In addition, the unplugging was exciting and challenging, since i was plugged for a long time and i never experience the unplugging in my life
