[Historic] Rare & bizzare media types
#5
The most interesting media types for me have been all the extremely huge storage media types like the very big floppy discs or cassettes. The size of these is just absolutely insane but the storage that they had was still very little compared to the size and their successors. Nowadays a micro SD card can store up to 1 TB of data and it is so small... the differences are simply astronomic.

Another great thing were the tiny versions of media types like tiny cassettes or discs that could store as much as their big brothers. It is sad to see that actually most of this small ones never really got proper traction in the consumer market. I have seen these small storage media types being used in the professional market though like lawyers using tiny cassettes to record what they say so that they can replay the recordings later to write notes and letters. Well, at least the tiny discs were used greatly for portable gaming handhelds like the PSP/PS Vita.

A lot of cool things that I have never seen before or even known about.
