The future isn't what it used to be: 3.5" floppies (or maybe it's a Zip disk; remember those?) and handheld devices with buttons instead of touchscreens.

Well, I don't think buttons will ever entirely disappear, especially in cases where you can't look at a screen every second and need to find your controls by feel. But floppies? Yeek.
I do have a drawer full of zip disks, though like my floppies, I no longer have any way to read them...

Although, when you think about it... The latest and most supreme data technology disguised as old technology would be a great security measure in the future....
Now I'm going to have to go find an old floppy set and turn them into a bulk flash drive........

Haha, good point!
I would probably pay good money for a USB drive disguised as a stack of floppies...

You like floppies, dragon? Buddy, you'll love the one I have; it's double density.

Two things come to mind:
One: Ah, the days when floppy discs could bring about the apocalypse!
Two: Don't do it, don't, he is a dragon, don't cut the deal... Aw, too late!

If you take it down taht road ... well, both are zapped. Deal with a dragon? Trust an elf? Two epics in one frame.

Dragons can trust an elf. To be crunchy and taste good in ketchup.
