The world's first tape came out in 1963, and then the traditional storage and backup method swept the world, but in the end it was defeated by more advanced technologies such as hard disks.
Although the tape has long been out of line of sight, or even disappear altogether, but the reality is not the same as we think.Market research firm Nielsen sent data show that tape sales last year, the highest record since 2012.
Data show that in 2017 the overall tape sales reached 174,000 boxes, but compared to 2016, this growth trend close to 35%, to know that sales in 2016 also reached 129,000 boxes.
More interestingly, Tape sales continued to rise, with the film "Galactic Guard" playing a very important role, while last year's sales top three cassette tapes were occupied by the "Galaxy Guard" soundtrack, while the fourth is the "Strange Story."
Anyway, under the influence of this retro trend, tape, vinyl records have the trend of counter-attack, but in any case also can not hide the positioning of the petty bourgeoisie.
