Question: are video recorders still being made?
Answer: The last known VCR-maker in the world has announced that it will shut down its VCR production lines in August. The VCR is officially going the way of the Betamax and LaserDisc: into the technology graveyard. ... It "has been producing VHS-playing VCRs for 33 years, most recently in China for Sanyo," the BBC says.
