The Mysterious and Strange Origin of the Floppy Disk

Nakamatsu’s most famous claim is of having invented floppy disk technology in 1952 while listening to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5.

But recently, they’ve had another breakthrough in storage technology that is perhaps equal to—or far greater—than the invention of the floppy disk.
