YouTube introduced the function of "video recorder" to view the video, in honor of the 57th anniversary of the "video"

I don’t know if in many regions children and teenagers called video recorders “video cards”, but in my region everything was exactly like that. Not everyone had these very “Vidic”, but those who had them, could be considered lucky. Video tapes cost not so much, plus you could rent tapes for a meager price. Among other things, some models of video recorders were writing, and if such a device also had two slots for tapes, there was no limit to the happiness of its owner and the owner's friends. Despite the popularity of VCRs, they very quickly disappeared from the market. Today, you won’t believe 57 years old since the appearance of VCRs on the market. If someone does not remember what a "jaded" tape looks like when viewed, YouTube can remind you.

Today, the service added the “video recorder” function, which allows you to remember how it all happened, or to find out if you didn’t catch the era of video recorders. By the way, the first commercial model of a VCR was the VRX-1000. It was demonstrated on April 14, 1956 at a meeting of the National Association of Radio and TV Broadcasting USA. This is how the device looked like:

Unusual, right?

To watch a video on YouTube with the inclusion of the corresponding function, click on the videotape icon under the video.
