SomeCanadianWeirdo:
Don't worry, Emily. Lots of stuff has never made it to YouTube, so cyberdiscs may have existed.

Probably not, though - being oblong would make it really awkward to read. There's a reason discs are circular.

Something something *physicist mumbles* moment of inertia something something violent explosion.

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.
--- End quote ---
Yes, but... my parents had a lot of music on vinyl. Growing up, my music (or rather, the subset of their music I enjoyed) were on cassettes, whereas I recorded my favorite video shows on VHS. (And in one very memorable case, the Ninth Gate, which included boobs.)
I skipped right over everything else.
Regarding the comic: I would honestly be not surprised if it turned out that this was a media format that was brought to Emily by aliens or a Vague Yet Menacing Government Agency.
BenRG:
I'm actually empathising with Emily this morning. Once, I had a detailed dream about a wholly-imaginary book in Anne McCaffery's Dragonriders of Pern series. It was so detailed (including a very interesting dust cover picture) that I was quite convinced it was real for a few days, leading to a considerable fruitless period at my local library, looking for it in the catalogue database.
Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure that 'Pretty, Pretty Unicorn Detective' is a reference to the character 'Shadow Spade' in the My Little Pony episode Rarity Investigates!
Now, I find myself wondering about just how much of Emily's own memories of the past are false memories!
