  placed onto a magnetic tape
 Linear method of storing information
 First widespread video cassette can be credited
  to Sony in 1969

  recordings becoming digital, inconvenient size,
  and viewing quality
DVD
 Phillips and Sony joined together to develop a
  media format that could hold large amounts of
  data
 Replaced VHS tapes in the entertainment
  industry because they produced high quality
  video and audio
 Remain a popular media format
Blu-ray
 Shuji Nakamura, a University of California at
  Berkley Professor, invented the blu-ray disc
 Came in as a major player in the “format wars”
  because of the need to record play and record
  HD content
 Use shorter wavelengths, which in return enable
  high-density storage
 Analysts expect more than 32 million blu-ray
  discs to be sold in the United States in 2011
Internet-Streaming
 YouTube leads the way in video streaming
 Convenience, cost, quality, variety, and ease of
 use have lead consumers to choose internet
