I had those at home when I was a kid.
I was born around the 2000s
It's not really that old lol
Granted, I was in a developing country, so the timeline of technological development is not quite the same (People's Republic of China).
Do people in the west still have Cassettes in the 2000s?
Those of us who can remember used those to save programs. It could take an hour or more if you had a large enough tape save a single file.
A lot of people did: home, portable, car. But a lot of people had also left them behind for ordinary CDs, CDs full of MP3s and dedicated MP3 players like Rios and iPods.
