damn,..what happened to the 1980s and cassette tapes...they were ok, for the most part.....except when my fucking tape player tried to eat them, and i would have to free the crunched up tape, then take a #2 pencil to slowly wind the tape back into the cassette. or,.in extreme cases,.actually have to cut away bad sections of the crunched up tape,.and splice it back together with transparent tape,.so that about 45 words of any given song are skipped right over when the tape is played......ok, ok..i can see why mp3s took over. (sigh)

so, mp3s have clearly taken over cassette tapes. in fact, you can barely find cassette tapes for sale in retail stores at all. yet, surprisingly, a lot of stereos are still manufactured to this day, with the ability to play cassette tapes.

this thread will represent an exhaustive list of just about anything and everything technology-related that once existed, and has now been replaced by a current successor.


predecessor/ successor

cassette tapes..............................................mp3 players
vinyl records................................................compact discs
laser discs/VHS tapes....................................DVD
video game cartridges..................................games on DVD/CD-ROM
CRT TVs......................................................flat screen LCD TVs
8 tracks.....................................................cassette tapes
polariod cameras/35 mm.............................digital cameras

Peter Brady was by far the ugliest Brady kid on the "Brady Bunch". I mean, they were all pretty ugly, and the fact that the Brady dad wanted to always take the boys out on overnight camping trips just a tad bit too often, gave me the creeps.
