  Well, books lasted much longer.

  Once you realize that all this stuff is written by either young Gen Z copywriters or AI, everything begins to make more sense.

  If you group together all the different kinds of floppies as “floppies”, but separate out CDs from DVDs and Blu-rays, then I guess it could be seen as short.

  CDs probably lasted longest for music, and lasted a while as primary computing media, but if you look at them in terms of console gaming, they lived a pretty short life. So maybe the author is also a console gamer, lol

  literally was going to start a reply with the same word question. I sorta consider all optical the same though so I don't even see it as over.
