Alice
Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English. I’m Alice…
Neil
And I’m Neil.
Alice
We’re talking about old technology today, Neil. Did you use to have any old tech, you know, a Walkman, back in the 1990s? Before music went digital?
Neil
No. I didn’t have a Walkman… But I do have a record player.
Alice
I know you like flared trousers, but I didn’t realize you were that retro. A record player, for those of you who don’t know, is a box with a turntable – or turning plate that you put your vinyl records on to play them.
Neil
And retro means going back to styles and fashions from the past. Well, I love my record player. I have a large collection of vinyl records, as well as cassette tapes that I inherited from my parents…
Alice
Vinyl is the plastic that records are made from. And cassette tapes came after records – which are these small plastic cases with audiotape on reels inside them. Well, I don’t understand your fondness for out-dated stuff, Neil.
Neil
Don’t be so quick to dismiss old tech, Alice. There’s been a resurgence – or new rise in – record sales recently – here in the UK, and in the US. Some DJs have gone back to using them, and new record stores have opened to meet the demand for vinyl.
