The old floppy 3.5" floppy disks are finally making their exit. Sony will stop selling them in Japan in 2011 and other countries very shortly after that.
Apparently in 2009, Sony had still sold more than 12 million floppies. Turns out people were still using those things.

So how long do we think CDs will still be in use before they are replaced entirely with data streaming over the internet? Will the need to be able to carry around a discrete thing with data keep CDs around for a long time, or will they go the way of the floppy disk?
