On July 1, 1979 ,Sony launched the first version of Walkman which is the first low-cost, portable music player. The products won a huge success in the market and Sony has sold 200 million this products totally.Walkman then fell to a flourishing stop today. In my opinion that led to the death of personal walkman have 3 main reasons.
1. Cassette restrictions. In all fairness, walkman is a very great invention, but it had a fatal defects which exist from its first production : it cannot play without a cassette. If you want to hear a certain singer's music, you have to buy a cassette to listen to his albums,that means there is no cassette, walkman do not have any use. The cassette can only contain a dozen songs and if you want to change songs, you have to put it out and change another one.
2. Rise of MP3. From the first MP3 is made at Korean in 1998 and it planted the seeds of decline for the walkman. MP3 can work without assistance.All you need to do is downloading the music ,maybe one hundred songs,from the Internet with a data cable to the computer.and nothing more, is that simple? It is easy to understand why walkman MP3 can beat it!
3.Expensive cost. From the perspective of the machine only, walkman is indeed cheaper than MP3, but then what? Buying cassettes or downloading music from the Internet, which is more expensive? You know it.
Have to admit, walkman is a very great invention, but the technology is always in progress.Who can guarantee that mp3 will not be the next walkman?
