The transition from Floppy Disks to Hard Drives. I was originally going to do Hard Drive to Flash Drive, but I thought that would be more boring looking.
Just for reference sake, the Floppy Disk isn't real, and is actually an album cover. It is Blue Monday 12" vinyl by New Order. I thought that it would be fitting for the photo since it is one of the quintessential 80's dance/pop songs (when some floppy disks would have still been used). Plus I just think that it is an awesome song. We don't have any floppy disks anymore, and that album cover pretty much is a floppy disk. 1971 is supposed to represent when the 8" floppy disk was on the commercial market, preceding the 5.25 and 3.5.
1983 represents when hard drives were more commonly found on higher end personal computers and were slowly becoming a factory/primary part to commercial computers. (but that is the year when they were commercialised into major markets)
