I bet people in the 80's said stuff like this when music started coming out on digital rainbow mirrors (CDs).

That was more the reaction to Sony mini-discs. Video players using large laser discs had been around for a while.

Mini-discs still feel futuristic for some reason.

I agree, but can't figure out why. Maybe because it wasn't wildly adopted?

Sony paid a pretty penny for us to think that I bet.

Keanu Reeves also stored his malware on MDs in The Matrix. Most cyberpunk guy alive (also in Cyberpunk 2077).
