#5 is missleading vast majority of floppy drives in 2002 did not support anything larger than 1.44mb, and would be replaced entierly by even first generation of USB flash drives that could store at least 8mb and had capacity of about 500mb by mid 2003. Not to mention CD-R started to become common and could store something like 650-700mb.

#13 is missleading and/or innacurate, CDs with "few" songs were a major thing in the 90s but by 2002 MP3 players were already a thing for at least a year or two.

#5 720Kb for a single density disk, 1.44mb for high density, and some weird flopticals did 20Mb on the depicted housing. ZIP disks maybe got to 100Mb but 200Mb is not a format I every saw on 3.5"
