Today is National VCR Day! Many of us remember the days of loading a VHS cassette into the VCR to watch our favorite movies, or the "be kind, please rewind" reminders from Blockbuster. Some also remember the days before the DVR stored all of our favorite shows in one convenient spot, using a VCR and blank cassette tape (or accidentally recording over someone else's tape) to record episodes of your favorite show.

With the advent of DVDs, Blu Rays, DVRs, and streaming services, the VCR and its companion, the VHS cassette, have gone by the wayside. However, old habits tend to die hard, and there are still people that happily use their VCR. Are you one of those people? Or are you hoarding your VHS tapes, hoping they come back in again like the Polaroid?
