But you, myself, and most people in here of that age are most likely kids of upper-middle-class parents who actually had computers, back when most office computers were still up to a $10k investment.
Floppy disks were around a lot back then, but that doesn't mean kids actually encountered them. I'm 28. My first computer experience was at the age of 6, but most people I knew as a kid didn't touch one until the age of 15. By then, floppies were already gone.
I don't think there's any age range that has a majority of people aware of what a floppy disk is. We have magnitudes more tech-aware people than we did back when floppies were a thing.
- metalforever 7y agoWhat? I am your age. I grew up working class and my parents had a crappy computer they bought at Sams Club with a floppy drive. The neighborhors had one too. I turned in my homework with floppies. Most students (working class) had one in the house, but a lot of the time the computer was rather ancient.
