VCR

I look forward to telling my kids back in my day we didn't have discs that played movies and music and we were not able to just download things to the TV or computer. We used to have a VCR. A VCR was our generations form of a DVD or Blue Ray player. It used to play VHS tapes. They were big bulky tapes that were like a jumbo version of a music cassette tape which of course kids now a days don't know what a cassette tape is either. Everything now comes on a disc and the younger generation knows nothing else. This was a simpler yet harder time especially for watching movies. We actually had to rewind and fast forward through whole movies there was no scene selection or skip chapter feature. Times were really rough.  There was a great invention however a VHS Re-winder  This thing was heaven sent. You could rewind the whole movie in a matter of seconds rather than waiting forever for the VCR to rewind it. The only other fast way was the ole stop rewind which worked relatively well but nowhere near as fast as a VHS Re-winder  Rewinding was such a big deal because if you ever got a tape out to watch and it wasn't rewound it was the biggest pain to have to rewind it before watching it.
