BINGO!
Many people today just do not care about sound. And many people of the past did not care about sound either. NOT every house in the 50,s had Hartsfields. Probably more like 1 out of a few hundred had a Hartsfield.
And people LOVED their portable 8 tracks, then we loved our Portable Sony Walkmans, Then our CD Walkmans, NOW our iPods.
We do the same things all over again, with different products, that have different names, BUT THE SAME PURPOSE!
