100 years from now? Or are you commenting that they have been in use 100
years? Technology just started hauling ass, things move too fast now. I
don't think you'll find a record player in 20 years, never mind 100.

Yes it's likely that no new Record Players will be made in 20 years time,
but I daresay that there will be plenty still around in peoples storage or
homes. Vinyl recording playback is so simple that it can be done without
electricity, and records made near 100 years ago can be played NOW.

Will that still be the case for CD's? I doubt it.. how many people still
have or use Cassettes? That technology has well & truly passed.
I guess it's similar to what has happened with the printed word. It's gone
from carved in stone to intangible emails, which will be lost when the PC is
turned off.. It seems the more advanced we are, the less history we leave
behind...

Don't get me wrong, I am all for progress & love the fact I can do things on
my PC that 10 years ago ( or 5 even!) were impossible to imagine.

Cheers,
