Magnetic Recording History

I thought this topic was pretty interesting. While the example we were shown didn't create music I personally liked, I thought it was pretty bold. I also think it's pretty interesting how floppy disks were created because of magnetic tape recording, and the need for a cheap way to transport software updates.

The article is clearly outdated, however, because it mentioned how VCR's will still be around for a long time, which we all know is not exactly true. I'm pretty sure the music industry has switched over to optical recording systems, despite being more expensive, since digital optical systems (think DVD's and CD's) are a lot more popular in households today than they were before.
