Do I have to say that technology evolves fast? Very fast? Do I have to say that, since technology evolves, some items just need to be replaced because there is something better, more efficient?However, sometimes, we cannot just discard these thing that have served us for quite some time. That's what hoarders feel. They feel that if they throw away something, they will be missing some part of their life away--or they are just worried that they may still need these things for a future day.
One good device that, in most cases, is obsolete and yet is still in the market is the computer diskette. Oh, I do not know. I do not have a diskette drive in my personal computer but I have bought some diskettes for reasons I do not know. I just felt like buying. I felt like buying it while they are still manufacturing these devices and are not yet phased out. Or... I just love holding diskettes. Well, they are not the best storage devices in the world, but they're definitely one of the most trendiest-looking, with those sliding covers that protect the tape inside.
Perhaps we human beings just love tape?
How could I say that? Well, it isn't diskettes that are still out in the market. In fact, cassettes and cassette players are still sold. There are some in our local appliance store and I have seen one here in Office1000. Hmm. Back in the olden days, we would rewind the played cassettes with our fingers precisely because we did not have rewinders or we were just too lazy to plug the rewinders in the wall socket. But who cares when you now have DVDs?
Naturally, these types of storage devices like cassettes and diskettes had to go out of the running. That's just life. Things come and go. Give it a few years time and DVDs would be vintage items. Items that are now for collection purposes.
