Sony has announced it has finally retired the Walkman cassette tape player, marking the end of one of the most successful consumer gadgets of all time.
Above is a picture of a Sony Walkman like I had in the early 1980’s. (except mine was black, not blue) I will never forget listening to music in my bunk on my ship in the Navy. Before that, if you wanted to crank some tunes, you needed a gigantic stereo.This Sony was all metal and well built. It was a great device. It was the beginning of the portable music era.
I never had a walkman. Only thing I had, which was way before you were BORN, was a transister radio. My sister and I got them for Christmas and we thought we were the COOLIST OF THE COOL!! How time flies! Now, I'm getting a Blue Ray and havent the foggiest idea what it is other than a CD player…debbie
