List why you think it is not currently popular

It is not currently popular because of DVD/Blu-ray disks where you can go to any part of the movie without having to wind it forwards or wind it back. Another thing is when you are finished with a movie on a disk you just have to push play watch it from the start again with VCR you have to rewind it to the start to watch it again.

Mind map

3 ideas on how it could increase in popularity with VHS

Retro copy with of the same DVD/Blu-ray movie like a digital copy except a VHS

Have cool looking VCR’s for retro factor

Make new feature built-in to the VCR like internet and the ability to record movies from a internet streamed movie.

Slogan for VHS

VHS 4:3 never looked cooler
