Advances in their design have occurred in tandem with the advances in technology in this digital era, with many large products being redesigned and miniaturized into amazingly small sizes. "Super 8/8mm" Handheld Video Cameras Kodak invented the Super 8/8mm film format in 19651 Betamax Betamax was developed by Sony in 1975, a year before the ultimately more popular VHS format was invented as a response to Sony's attempt to control the format of the industry. VHS Format Invented by JVC, VHS was the predominant video format by the 1980's, despite what some argued was the technical superiority of the Betamax format. Laser Disc Players Initially marketed as "Discovision", laser discs were the format choice of tech enthusiasts who had the money to put together a collection until the DVD format came out2 The gramophone was replaced by the considerably less bulky record player in the latter half of the twentieth century. Reel to Reel The first tape recorders were reel to reel and were the preferred technology for professional sound designers until digital formats rendered them obsolete. Cassette Tape Recorders These devices were considerably less bulky then their reel to reel ancestors, and were used mostly for transcription. PDA's Considered one of the biggest tech flops of all time, the Apple Newton was sold at a huge price point compared to other Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) that were on the market. Personal digital assistants were electronic timekeepers for the times when you couldn't fit a computer in your pocket. Massive Mainframes While mainframes still exist, they generally don't take up entire rooms or store information on magnetic tape. Zip Drive This short-lived technology was the bridge between 3.5" Floppy Disc and CD storage? Slide Projectors These were classroom and office standbys for years, and were replaced by digital projectors and smartboards. 8" Floppy Disc If you wanted to save one or two word processing documents, you could do it on these. 3.5" Floppy Disc The 3.5" Floppy took over from its bulkier cousin with larger storage and a less destructible design. It had largely been replaced by the late nineties by CD's, DVD's, USB drives and other more convenient computer storage methods. Polaroid Cameras While these cameras were largely replaced by digital cameras, the trademark has recently been purchased and the buyers are trying to breathe new life into the brand by hiring Lady Gaga as a spokesperson. While they are still used in some schools, they have been largely replaced by digital projectors and the fact that you can now burn most home movies to a DVD. Vinyl Records Vinyl was the dominant music format for the 20th Century. From your grandmother's old 78's to the single 45 format, vinyl was perfected over the years to be as acoustically correct and cheap to press as possible. Tape Drives Remember when backing up the computer meant changing the tape in the tape drive and letting it back up overnight. It was the portable format of choice for a brief period in the 70's before cassette tapes took over.
