Your thoughts on VHS players?
It's so weird to think that at one point in time, VHS players were considered modern and happening technology. Though, at the time, I didn't know any better because that's all there was. VHS was all we had...literally. And then DVD's came along and changed everything. It's like one day everyone owned a VHS player, and then the next day everyone was throwing them in the trash. They practically became ancient relics of the past. And I must say, VHS players could be quite annoying. You would actually have to wait and rewind the tape. The players could be quite noisy. And the worst case scenario was when your VHS player would literally eat / destroy your favorite movie. And compared to DVD's, the video and audio quality wasn't the same. And sometimes, particularly when renting old video tapes at places like Blockbuster and Hollywood Video, you would come across tapes that had this weird skipping audio glitch and fuzzy picture. The only upside that I really enjoyed and kinda miss about VHS players, is that when using a blank tape, you could record anything off of the television. At a young age, I remember accumulating a vast collection of movies I recorded from premium channels. I mean, sure, it was definitely going against the movie industry due to copyright matters...but it was fun, lol. But I must say, I've adapted rather well to DVD's. But the weird thing is, even DVD's seem like they're becoming a thing of the past.
Does anyone else still use a VHS player?
