If you’re a little embarrassed to be lugging around a brand new iPhone, even though all of your other gear is vintage-core, this VHS Tape iPhone Case will help disguise your device as a piece of retro tech history.
The real painful part is going to be transferring all of your contacts to DVD once you wise up to the times. Grab yours for $25 from Etsy.
It seems like only yesterday I was paying $20 dollars for every hot movie that hit store shelves in VHS format. Today, I can go into a store and buy three tapes for just a dollar. Whoever said that a dollar can’t buy you anything was full of shit. Ever since the creation of DVD, VHS has been on a steady decline. Now with the last major VHS supplier calling it quits, the final nail in the coffin of VHS has arrived.
“It’s dead, this is it, this is the last Christmas, without a doubt,” Distribution Video Audio co-owner Ryan Kugler told the L.A. Times. “I was the last one buying VHS and the last one selling it, and I’m done. Anything left in the warehouse we’ll just give away or throw away.”
Distribution Video Audio is now in the business of selling discount DVD displays for big-box retailers and its co-owner warns that in three or four years DVD will face the same fate as VHS. Looking to buy a movie for someone? Consider Blu-ray.
When I was, like, 12 I stumbled across my father’s treasure trove of recorded pornography. This was before the time of the DVD, so everything was on VHS. When I would sneak downstairs in the middle of the night to catch a peek, I had to be super careful because VCRs made a hell of a lot of noise. The Video Tape USB Hub is a nostalgic reminder of those times of pornography sneaking in the retro age.
Luckily for you kids these days, all you have to do to load up on porn is have a few USB memory sticks and your good to go. But who is technology to say we should take away the coming of age video tape find? To make your own you’ll probably need to make a stop at your local electronic parts store for some supplies, but after that, you’re home free to create your very own Video Tape Hub. (more…)
