Comments on: The End of VHS https://www.robohara.com/?p=9522 The Adventures of Rob, Susan, Mason and Morgan O'Hara Mon, 25 Jul 2016 14:17:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8 By: Jake Nonnemaker https://www.robohara.com/?p=9522#comment-6886 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 14:17:17 +0000 https://www.robohara.com/?p=9522#comment-6886 VHS is a technology that I won’t miss. The quality is so bad compared to current HD that my eyes bleed when watching old VHS tapes.

But I do appreciate the social structure around VHS: the family going to movie rental store and trying to decide on a movie to watch together, those damned late fees, oops – forgot to rewind the tape, the hassle of recording TV shows, etc.

I’m still amazed how far we’ve come. Before VHS, if you missed a movie in the theater, then you had to wait for years for it play on TV. Then HBO came along and allowed us to watch some hit movies at home. But now we can pretty much watch what we want, when we want. We live in amazing times.

Glad I put all my home movies on DVD when I did. The average VCR has a lifespan of 2 years. Less if there are children between the ages of 8-14 and have different opinions of content to be watched.
