An opiate is a chemical substance that is derived directly from the opium poppy resin and bind to the opioid receptor in the brain. Examples include codeine and opium. Opioids are chemicals that are synthesized or synthetically modified opiates that also bind to the brainâs opioid receptor.n opiate is a chemical substance that is derived directly from the opium poppy resin and bind to the opioid receptor in the brain.

The floppy disk was a revolution in the computer industry when it was developed by IBM in the late 1960s as a reliable and inexpensive method of loading microcode into their System/370 computer.
Computer data was written to and read from the disk's surface. The nickname floppy came from the disk's flexibility. The floppy disk was considered a revolutionary device throughout the history of computers for its portability, which provided a new and easy means of transporting data from computer to computer. The floppy was invented by IBM engineers led by Alan Shugart. The original disks were designed for loading microcodes into the controller of the Merlin (IBM 3330) disk pack file (a 100 MB storage device). So, in effect, the first floppies were used to fill another type of data storage device.
