The Cassette tape and cassette recorder came in '63 and meant that for the first time ever you could have portable music of your own choice.
And then twenty years later he created 'Disc technology' which gave us the C:D and the Laserdisk. The forerunner to what we now know as DVD.
He was also instrumental in bringing together Phillips, the Dutch company he worked for and Sony who were attempting something similar at the time so that discs for either audio or visual could be standardised.
Anyone who considered buying a Sony 2000 at the time would certainly have been grateful as they cost around £3,000 at the time !
@Picklebobble2 I remember the mini cd players, I think Sony released them. I nearly bought one because you could record with them too but the mp3 player came along and they disappeared into distant memory.
