Cassettes are still used in some language labs at secondary school level so yes, they're represented in the kids' lives in places where the old ways are still considered perfectly good enough for spoken word. I'm not sure how law-abiding your average Belieber is but some of the naughtier specimens might also see cassette tapes in police and HMR&C interview rooms.Reli said:

My buddy's kids, who are now 9, asked me what a cassette was last year. They saw it in the deck in my Conion. I ejected it, handed it to them, and told them to ask their nana. She told them it was full of music. They were even more confused until I showed them how to use the deck.Reli said:
They're probably the only kids in their peer group that know what it is and how to use it.
So - Short answer: Probably not.

"Holy Grail! Absolutely awesome find! It's getting very hard to find one of these in this condition! Extremely rare to find one of these days!
It was a good stockpile, and they were all MINT with tags still on them!!!

How? A quick search for Coomber shows that they're still alive, still supplying more than 80% of the LEAs in the country and still using K7s as the medium of choice in schools. Our modern languages department sends the consoles down to us for their routine servicing but the medium itself is reliable. KIds from primary schools may not see tape until they move up to secondary education but as most younger pupils' music at home is stored on tape the chances are that they have. Magnetic tape doesn't catch anything and so can't infect an entire building, the time taken to replace clutches - which have a hard time in the back & forth world of Coomber consoles - as well as belts and other perishables is a drop in the ocean comparing with the time taken to remove those little bugs that some fifth formers think it's funny to introduce to the IT suite.superlew said:
European schools also use tape in labs, in most cases from their primary threes and fours. Sadly, they're just as suggestible as the kids in this country when it comes to Bieber. How's that then?

They may be the norm in the UK. But, as far as I know, at least here in MA, everything is pretty much digital. Long gone are the days of overhead projectors and film strips. A friend of mine, who is a science teacher here in MA, laughed hysterically a couple of weeks ago when I asked if she remembered film strips. "Ding!" (That means turn the film strip) 'member?
I'll have to remember to ask her if they still show the old Nova videos on VHS.
I'm doubting it.
