Feels like these were barely a thing for a month before mp3 players took off.
I remember people talking about how small media storage was getting
Records - > Tapes - > CDs
People thought they'd eventually all the pill sized but still contain exactly one album or one movie.
We never thought 'what if I could fit every album I own on one Disc?'
I remember showing my iPod to my uncle who had a hige music collection and telling him that his whole wall of albums could fit on this white rectangle and then some. He was impressed but didn't see much value until he thought about driving in the car.
