Your Mac Media News&Reviews
First we need transfer files and software to clip , and then insert the floppy to disk drive, so that you can copy storage to another computer. Sometimes, the disk drive separate from your computer, you need a cable connected to the computer. Today, the floppy disk is no longer used for data exchange, but it is undeniable that in a moment of scientific and technological history,it was everywhere.
Apple first abandon the floppy from their own computer products in 1998, marked the floppy disk storage media began to go extinct. Floppy disk time is longer than its natural life, at the moment of the turn of the century, the floppy disk is out of the stage of history.
A decade later, Apple still retains a style of its work, they often abandon the technology we think we can continue to use. For example, the update of the recent Apple laptops, Apple abandoned DVD drive, with smaller ultra-low-power solid-state drives to replace the traditional hard drive. Apple's latest OS X Mountain Lion operating system give up most Mac computers which before 2007 .
In a way, Apple's intervention is unusual. Many technology companies encourage customers to upgrade to the latest hardware, and they often give an opportunity for old computers to update the software. Apple is not. On the contrary, Apple insist on the unity of their design, there is no hope for negotiation.
It sounds difficult for us, but the apples gently coercion is not a bad thing. There are a lot of things reluctant to abandon from emothional , but Apple forced its way to us to abandon the old technology to speed up the acceptance of new technologies and new life.
Over the years, movie maker and other creative experts have been accustomed to using Apple's FireWire , cause the speed of transfering data very fast with Apple firmware . The first generation of iPods and even integrated FireWire, until 2008, Apple began to reduce the use of the FireWire. Many people complain that now is not the time to abandon FireWire, in fact, they are right. At that time of the market no other kind of transmission technology was over the FireWire. Not for long Apple introduced Thunderbolt technology transfer, the transfer speed is 12 times faster than the fastest Firmware as we known , 20 times faster than the widely used USB 2.0 . The new Mac computer standard are already built-in with Thunderbolt.
If the Mac only got a tiny market share in the past, Apple prematurely abandon a technology has little effect with its share . But not today. Mac market share is much more than in the past, therefore, every new Mac which customers take home, indicating that a step forwared the DVD drive and hard drive went to end. Not every person with Mac like the Mac computer without a CD-ROM ,but it still is a good thing. As a result, Apple push the old technology which will be disappeared after a few years in advance to the death; Second, Apple has also stimulated all other competitors to start thinking about future progress.
