I'm so glad we don't have cassettes (video or audio) anymore. My uncle had a really mean habit when I was a kid where he would take some of my favorite movies and music tapes, get them wet, leave them in his car for a week or so, and then bring them back. He always had me convinced he had only lost them, but when I played the tapes I was chagrinned to find that the visuals were all scary, colorful, and beny. More nightmare fuel. I would inevitably end up in the feeble position until my parents got home. This just goes to show that even though a technology can be made with good intentions, it really only ends up causing more pain than gain.
