Floppy disk, as a relatively ancient storage medium, must have never even seen or used many post-00s friends. However, Japan has legislated that the first department must use floppy disks, optical discs and other specific storage media, resulting in Japan has been using floppy disks, which have been complained by the outside world that they are very backward.
However, it is reported that Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry recently issued and implemented the latest ministerial decree, abolishing the regulations that must use floppy disks and optical discs, and claiming that it is determined to eliminate floppy disks from the official** and legal and regulatory levels.
However, it should be noted that the new regulations only abolish the requirement to use floppy disks, not that they cannot be used by legislation. That is to say, as long as the ** department wants to, then they can still continue to use floppy disks.
* The department's use of floppy disks leads to inefficiency, in fact, it has been complained about by the outside world. As early as 2021, many banks in Japan planned to eliminate 35-inch floppy disk, but the Japanese local ** is very dissatisfied. At their strong request and willingness to spend an additional $500 per month in service fees, the Bank of Japan had to announce a five-year extension before phasing out the floppy disk service system.
A ** in Meguro, Tokyo, Japan, once said that his experience over the years showed that floppy disks were almost never damaged or lost data, and they were very safe, so he always insisted on using floppy disks.
However, there have also been cases of floppy disk loss in Japan**. For example, at the end of 2021, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department lost two floppy disks that recorded 38 people. In this way, floppy disks are not so safe.
Although this new legislation has pushed Japan** to move towards a new storage method, given Japan's aging population and Japan's conservative bureaucracy and corporate culture, floppy disks may not be phased out in Japan anytime soon.
