Incredible, but true: the Japanese government has finally scrapped the use of floppy disks in many administrative processes. This marks another step in the digital transformation of an administration that is surprisingly resistant to change.
Who would have thought it? It has taken until 2024 for the Japanese government to finally consign its last floppy disks to the shelf. The last remaining regulations governing their use have been abolished, and as of June 28, floppy disks are no longer required for any administrative processes in the country. In addition to floppy disks, these regulations also apply to CD-ROMs.
