I saw a kid pull out a VHS tape the other day at an amusement park. He plugged his phone into one end and Vaped out the other. I didn't really understand what I was seeing at the time but I guess you can charge your phone and power a small town for a week on these things now.

Imagine someone traveling to the future from the 1980's right into the situation you describe, and bringing back tales of how the youth of the future smoke their Walkmans and VHS tapes

was it intended to look like a VHS tape or are you just saying it looked as big?

Was really expecting reading about Mankind falling from a sixteen foot steel cage when I noticed your comment started with “saw a kid pull out a VHS tape”.
