Connecting "My Passport Air" external hard drive to new MacBook Air

Just replaced old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Air and didn't realize the new laptop doesn't have any USB ports! Is my external backup hard drive obsolete as well?

MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

No, it is not obsolete! Simply buy an USB A To USB C adapter (you've got those for not all too much money) and you can use your old disk on your new MacBook

Thanks much! I didn't think such an adapter existed.
