Sony is finally killing off the floppy disk.

The Japanese electronics manufacturer, that sold over 12 million of the devices, has made it clear that it will stop making floppy disks from next year, leaving no manufacturer in the market, reports The Telegraph.

"It''s amazing to think anyone still uses them, but they are popular still in Japan and India. The last time I used one was when I was at school," said Kat Hannaford, the technology websites Gizmodo' contributing editor.
