I remember being super hyped for the successor of the floppy disk back as a kid in the 90s... Iomega Zip Drives.
And then getting super hyped for the successor to the CD... the BluRay, and wondering what sort of holographic multi terabyte wizardry would be the nextgen of optical disks.
Now we are in 2024 and what actually happened is no one owns their movie or music libraries anymore... they are all streamed from some remote CDN somewhere, and most content creators get paid a pittance compared to what they did in the old world.

At least we still have thumbsticks...
