#13 yes ... faster than light travel, energy shields, brain planets, reality controlling stones, time travel has so much more going for it, than a simple magnetic tape you can replace in a mechanical analogue Walkman you can repair with basic tools
Rosabel, You could replace the tape with a new copy with technology around you. I presume it was about the nostalgia and the sound from the device. You would not loose that with a new tape or walkman.
#9 - No offense, but it doesn't work that way. Think of a child as a project that has a duration of 100,000 hours. Your project has a hierarchy of needs - some very important, some less important. And the hierarchy is ever changing as the child matures. Behavior is a consistent need that spans from beginning to end - and that is never out of date. Teaching a child technology is comparatively low priority and indeed whatever the parent teaches will be quickly out of date - but that is true at a University also because new technology is in the field (not in the school). You'll find out when you become a parent
#14 Yes, the world is going to smell very different once electric vehicles become commonplace - it will have that slightly metallic and acrid smell of nuclear power plants, because that's the only way we'll ever power ubiquitous electric vehicles.

Its not about the Walkman. Its about the tape not losing its magnetic information.

he also had a tape player built into the ship so it would make sense they can replicate and maintain the tape if needed.
#8 You realize it's a fantasy movie, right?
