VCR, device for playing and recording video, dies at 30
June 11, 2005 12:30 PM
(AP) - The VCR, unquestionably the world's first
popular device that allowed people to record
television in their homes, died today in a discount
bin at Best Buy. It was exactly 30 years old at the
time of its death. Long suffering from extreme price
reductions that resulted in nonexistent profit
margins, the VCR's parents finally pulled the plug on
their progeny's life support, turning to newer
alternatives in DVD and hard disk recorders. The
videocassette recorder leaves behind a legacy of "Be
kind, rewind" stickers, shelves sagging with
once-watched tapes, frequent trips to the repair
shop, and eventually, the dumpster; it will be
remembered by its devotees as a source of endless
rental movie enjoyment and occasional late fees. The
VCR is survived by its four children: the TiVo DVR,
age 6; the DVD recorder, age 6; the DVD-R/hard disk
recorder, age 4; and the combo DVD-R/VCR, age 3.

Check
out this interesting flash movie of
a Google controlled world, circa 2014. It mixes
fact, fiction, Orwellian themes and fantasy about,
basically, Google and Amazon merging to
form Googlezon.
Interesting and funny...
