This was a cute little article. The point-of-view was interesting and I especially liked when he admitted it took him three days to figure out there was music on the other side of the tape. I grew up with cassette tapes -- didn't get a CD player until I was 10 or so -- so I can't imagine not intuitively understanding how they work.
Campbell writes, "Perhaps that kind of anticipation and excitement has been somewhat lost in the flood of new products which now hit our shelves on a regular basis." When I first read this sentence I agreed. But then I remembered how my friends were behaving in the week leading up to the release of the newest iPhone and the roll-out the night before of the software upgrade ...
What I liked most was reading the readers' comments -- people nostalgic for the simplicity of an outdated technology, even though we all anxiously await Apple's latest release.
