Oh and UMD, but I don't think "I want to watch a movie in poor quality on a tiny screen on a device that'll probably run out of battery before the movie finishes" was a market anybody was really interested in.

Sony minidisc says hi :p

I remember a time when i was hoping they'll implement the minidisc as an alternate removerable storage for PC. More robust compared to floppy disks, less delicate compared to CDR, and is rewritable too. LOL

I remember ripping a CD to one with an optical cable. It split by tracks and everything.

I felt like Johnny Mnemonic.

I think they're saying the opposite: millennials as "boomers" so-to-speak.

Millennial because they grew up only knowing MP3s and digital media and didn't get to experience disc based media. :p

What in the world??

I’m a millennial and I grew up with 8 tracks and cassettes. I was in grade school when we got our first CD player.

Dvds have more regions, 6, while blu-rays just have 3
