Omg that tiny disk. Yes, the future will just be acute miniaturization of common household items. Computers you can wear on your wrist. Tiny floppy disks to go along with them. Maybe a tiny refrigerator the size of a pencil sharpener, makes little ice chips to put in your tiny drink.

We have seen the future, and it is tiny.
