Essay on Cassette Tapes
Different sections could be about:
- Introduction, a basic overview of the essay.
- Lou Ottens and his team.
- What was considered the first cassette tape player.
- Basic info about compact cassettes like how they're made.
- Other common types of cassette tapes.
- The walkman.
- First artists on tape.
- Cassettes vs CD. Include my opinion?
- How cassettes are coming back into fashion.
- Conclusion.
I know I definitely want to write about Lou Ottens, the Walkman and Cassettes versus CDs so I'm goign to try to ensure I can dedicate some of the essay to these topics as I find them interesting and fun to research. I'm also aware that writing about the first cassette as well as the rise and fall of them is essential, and although I'm not as interested in these parts, I know they're needed to bring all of the essay together and keep it detailed. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'll have the space to write fully about how cassette tapes have been created over time as it's such a broad topic. Therefore, I may simply write a simple overview of how they're made without going into unnecessary detail.
