Next thing, there'll be no more BETA-VHS tapes, analog TV, or reel to reel tapes!

I read a report just a few days ago which states cassette tapes are making a comeback. I used to buy Maxell cassette tapes and Maxell reel-to-reel tapes by the case back in the day.

If this is true, the fidelity must really be improved to match today's technology.

I own a SONY boombox which has AM/FM, cassette and CD player. I have not used it in years. It has to be 30 years old and it's in great condition. The device is quite heavy. It sits on a shelf at home.
It still has the original antenna. I used to receive airport interference when I tuned it to WXRT-FM/93.1. No idea why. Someone here can tell me. I'm 20 minutes from Chicago.

I own a SONY Trinitron analog TV. This TV was bought back in 1989. It still plays perfectly. I rarely use it; however, old technology really holds up/stands the test of time.

These days, cheaper TVs are disposable. It's easier/less expensive to replace it. My two main TVs are identical 50-inch Sony HD-TVs. They serve me well.
