millenial? Some of us are now in our forties. We grew up in the format wars
the VHS vs Beta format wars, not the HD-DVD vs Blu-ray format wars for the young'ns out there.
Digital format wars were a thing while Blockbuster was still around. They know both
How quickly we forget Laserdisc and Video CDs.
Oh and UMD, but I don't think "I want to watch a movie in poor quality on a tiny screen on a device that'll probably run out of battery before the movie finishes" was a market anybody was really interested in.
Sony minidisc says hi :p
I remember a time when i was hoping they'll implement the minidisc as an alternate removerable storage for PC. More robust compared to floppy disks, less delicate compared to CDR, and is rewritable too. LOL
I remember ripping a CD to one with an optical cable. It split by tracks and everything.
I felt like Johnny Mnemonic.
Don't forget about VideoNow
I think they're saying the opposite: millennials as "boomers" so-to-speak.
Millennial because they grew up only knowing MP3s and digital media and didn't get to experience disc based media. :p
What in the world??
I’m a millennial and I grew up with 8 tracks and cassettes. I was in grade school when we got our first CD player.
