I know that this is a joke

It's humor not a joke. There's deep wonderment at how much the world has changed behind it. A 16GB thumb drive holds 10,000 times more information. A floppy disk doesn't even have the most rudimentary electronics built in. You can't even turn one on.

The problematic part is "for the younger readers out there." Leave that out and it's fine. Replace it with "Fuck, I'm old" and it's pretty good.

Technical articles are (well) technical and the author is not responsible for explaining what a floppy disk is in a world where google and wikipedia are eleven keystrokes away. The reader has to work too.
