My daughter asked me what a VHS Player was last night. It was in one of her books, and I couldn't tell her how it works. But I got to tell her why we say "rewind" when we reverse a movie.

Data is written to a tape in one direction. It's on a very long magnetic ribbon. That ribbon is wrapped around two spools.

Once you read through the data you have to wind it all the way backwards to read it front to back again.

Oh, man. Idea: When watching a vintage movie on a steaming service they should run ads from the same time period.

Watch an 80s movie with 80s McDonald's and Folgers commercials.
