One should be enough because there's always something you remember more from your youth than anything else. I remember cassettes just from how much music I was exposed to as a kid.

I remember cassettes both for the beautiful practise of making mix-tapes as gifts for your friends (and/or sweetheart), as well as a digital (non-audio) data storage device.

Do Kids today do something like that still? Do they send each other playlists as a token of affection?

We still have a shelf full of VHS videos at home, and a VHS player that still works.
I was also a big fan of minidisc in its time.
I was quite shocked yesterday to discover that the 2018 Nissan LEAF doesn't have a CD player at all. For all I know, no new cars have CD players any more. And I have hundreds of CDs...
