After all these years with new gadgets getting more advance every year, television is still the number 1 most popular platform. Every entertainment you can think of can be found as a show in television from movies to reality shows. Televisions used to be monochome, black and white, but I never got a chance to see it.

    My mother often tell me that I read books as if my life depends on it, but how can i not? I have been reading since I learned to read. "There is no friend as loyal as a book" -Ernest Hemingway

    Although I was born in the year 2000 I can say that I was a user of cassette tapes. I remember rewinding those tapes with a pencil listening to my chinese declamation speech and looking for mistakes in dictations. Cassette tapes were used before to be able to record audios and to play it back. They say that cassette tapes might be the new vinyl and I said why not? Cassette tapes brings back nostalgic feeling not only to me but also to others since it was quite popular back in the '70s and '80s.
