It ' s not that floppy disks aren ' t cool anymore , they ' re just outdated technology that has a better replacement . We still use the same concept , just as USB drives instead of floppy . Slap bracelets , on the other hand , are something that were cool , then we decided they weren ' t cool and stopped wearing them . We didn ' t replace it with something else , we just stopped . They tried to bring them back a few years ago but people still said nah thats not cool anymore . There ' s a difference between outdated technology and notcoolanymore technology . Front Row and the remote were replaced by the Apple TV , which provides the exact same function in a more modern way . It didn ' t run its course , it ' s still here and very popular . Just in an updated format .
