Why do they give the name floppy disks 'FLOPPY?

of late wodering


Answer:

G'Day,



Because the original computer disks be quite voluminous (like LP Records) and made of mylar (thin plastic), not vinyl (like LP Records).



Therefore they had no rigidity to them and be said to be Floppy.



If you have an old-fashioned 5.25 or 3.5 floppy disk that you do not want, pull one apart and you will see a smaller book of the original floppy disk inside.



PS: Given that you are asking this put somebody through the mill, you may not know what a LP Record is either, so in recent times think of a pizza :)



PPS: look up the query on the spelling of Disk and Disc

Loadable

Because if you steal them apart, you can bend the platters, but you can't bend the platters of a hard disk. Also, next to old floppies (the big 5 1/4 inch ones and older) the entire entity was bendable.
It's the matter they are made of and their inherent flexability.



Hard drives are exactly that. Metal disks and HARD.



Floppy disks are made of plastic and are relatively soft and flexible.



It's no more complicated than that.
Floppy disks, also known as floppies or diskettes (a dub chosen in instruct to be similar to the word cassette)
