There's a defect in the presentation.

The cassette gets dropped and survives. The Ipod doesn't.

But a cassette doesn't play itself !

A true comparative test would be to drop a cassette 'walkman' alongside
the Ipod - I expect both would break.

For example, I could drop a mini-disc and I'm sure it would be as
durable as a cassette. I wouldn't like to drop my mini-disc player /
recorder itself.


OTOH, with casette, you can drop the medium without
disturbing the player, while with ipod, you drop the
media, you lose the player, too.
Same goes for loss, you losa a casette, you lose
on album worht of material, you misplace the iPod you lose
all your media, and the player, to boot.

I don't advocate one or the other, I am just indicating
to you the other side of the coin.
