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?
Every time I watch Johnny Mnemonic and he snaps in that laser disc I think "so cool"... :)
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).
