 The reason 8-track died is because it is a failed mechanism.  Any
 time there is a bona fide hardware failure, a particular format will
 die very quickly.  No other format killed it.  It just had too many
 physical functional problems.

 VHS will still be around a while, just typically for home recording,
 and OTA recording.
