Video killed the Radio Star?

Or so Buggles mused in 1979, when the future seemed bright and goggly, more UVF than VHF.
Not so says the radio in the background, frantically waving it's antennae and speakers about in a frankly cheesy manner.

As the world  fast forwarded, we watched the epic cellulose battle between Beta and VHS, and still the the dear old wireless went from strength to strength. Video shops boomed everywhere. Soon every house had a video recorder, complete with enormous cabinets housing huge libraries of bulky rectangular tapes. 
I remember the language firmly asserting itself in our collective consciousness. We started to "tape" stuff, and forgetting to "set the video" became a national sport. How many of us can remember "taping over" a cherished memory with a hastily recorded EastEnders, or Brookside replacing the Royal Wedding.
But now the video is  dead, killed by shiny new plastic discs, and digital downloads are now the norm.

Why then do I still want to "tape" Sky? Or when I press series link, do I then affirm that I have set the video? 

On a similar vein, I occasionally wonder whether I have missed my evening injection, or I forgotten to go to dialysis! So much for 40 years of conditioning and habits.

Oh well, time to eject this thought and get on with playing the programme..
