The television was invented even earlier, the telephone much earlier, but like the biro, they're still very much existing, in use and of the present. Cassettes have very much died out in the mainstream, music wise, and won't be making a widespread comeback, however many hipsters jump on them (not that I'm against them doing so, I'd like to be proven wrong).
