    No, not really.

    Because many of those videos won’t be replayed over and over again. It’s like recording fireworks. Almost pointless. You may as well just enjoy the concert (edit: without videotaping it.)

    The tape recording, though, you bet it was enjoyed countless of times!

      And shared! And mixed.

      The best way of showing you liked someone back then was by giving a mix tape.

      I guess later the same could have been said for CDs but they felt like office goods…

        Lol office goods! :)

        They do feel like that now. But back in the day, I thought it was the apogee of technology, so handling them (buying them, playing, sharing) was really cool.

        But then, I was 14.
