A coworker, about 15 years ago, was telling me about bringing out some old VHS tapes for his kids. They were absolutely amazed at one particular feature: you could put the tape in and it would be at exactly where you left off! This was a great advancement, in their minds, compared to DVD/BluRay that always started at the beginning.
I suppose that time has passed though. My own kid knows basically nothing but streaming (which also has that feature). We still have a BluRay player hooked up but I bet it's been used less than 5 times in the past half decade.
Ironically, there's a bin full of old VHS in the basement somewhere, but I'm pretty sure we don't even have a player anymore. It would be fun to see the reaction though.
