I resent them saying that cassettes are obsolete!

They didn't say cassettes were obsolete. They said that videotape was becoming obsolete, and that cassettes were succeeded in popularity by CD's and MP3's, which is true.

Keep in mind the point of the article, it's not about right now, it's about what kids born now will find obsolete in their lifetimes. And for those of you that don't realize it, cassette tapes is DEFINITELY going to be one of those things. I think we're down to only TWO manufacturers left in the WORLD that are producing analog tape, and it has quickly become so expensive and hard to find that even tape purists like Steve Albini have switched their recording studios over to digital. Now if that's what is happening at the beginning of the chain, do you really think cassette will last much longer as a viable end-product?
