Video Home System (VHS) Cassettes/Video Cassette Player (VCR)
- Period of Use: 1970s To Early 2000s
- Made Obsolete By: DVDs/DVD Players
Video Cassettes were a huge invention. They were truly great to record on, which led to many video cameras using them to record at-home material. Yet these same tapes would also be developed further. The Motion Picture world realized that after a movie hit theaters, they could further get money out of people. While they might go to the theater to see a movie one time, they might also buy that same movie for at-home viewing several months later.
