Remembering the floppy disk

Kingsley posted the recent presentation you made [1] which i think is
fantastic.

A simple concept i think many have forgotten is the idea of the floppy
disk.  once upon a time, we stored our documents on a floppy disk.  whether
it be a wordprocessing or spreadsheet program, our data was stored on a
floppy, so we could go from computer to computer without needing to take
the computer with us.

In todays 'cloud services' world, most people forget those simple kinds of
concepts, increasingly people who are innovating don't even remember the
days of the floppy disk...

We're all living in a world where the application, also stores the files we
create, formally transported between computing environments on a floppy...

hope it's a concept you might find useful for communications.
