Responding to the title: Made me think of Star Trek TOS food synthesizers (the precursor to replicators). They used floppy-disk-like cards as their main interface: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Food_synthesizer?file=F...

In particular what brought it to mind was a scene in one episode with a bunch of kids being shown how it works, same episode as the page's title image.
