You would think people would be bright enough to do so but in the real reality, there are many who do not. When 3.5" floppies were no longer included in new computers, many people complained they could no longer read files they had stored on those disks. Surprisingly, corporations are the worst offenders merely because upgrading stored media is expensive.
