I used floppies as late as 2010 when I was in high school (we had a very old Windows 95 PC at home with no support for USB, and no Internet access). Luckily, the school computers were also old and still had floppy drives, so I could type up my homework at home and print it out in the school library. I used Wordpad, if I remember correctly.

But yes, they were very unreliable. I used to copy the files onto two disks because it was very common for one to not work.
