DVD's.  I only got a dvd recorder/player in 2006 and less than 5 yrs later they were gone and replaced by recordable tv boxes etc..

Does anyone use dvd's anymore?  How long did the video libraries last in the dvd age?    5 yrs I'd say

3D never really took off as TV companies put there resources into 4k productions, Bought a blue ray player thing was obsolete before I even used it.
time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it.

You waited until 2006 to get a DVD player?

Most of these things are gimmicks that people buy into. 4k2hd plasma TV, it is mostly bollocksology. Sure, there might be the odd slight improvement, but is it worth the small fortune it costs? The fact that it will be deemed obsolete in a few months, so if you're the type of person who needs the latest thing you will be pissed off, otherwise you will get it to a few months after the warranty is out and then it will break down.
It is the model Steve Jobs, a.k.a Hank Scorpio, perfected with phones.

The mother-in-law was asking where she could buy a DVD for a present last night. I had to have a long hard think about what shop would sell DVD. Crazy considering how big they were in the 00's

Not 'had a short shelf life' but 'has' - Bitcoin.
