Word origin
The videocassette, also known as VHS (Video Home System) tape, was introduced by JVC in the 1970s and became a popular format for recording and playing back video content. It allowed people to watch movies and record TV shows at home. However, with the advent of DVDs and digital streaming, videocassettes became obsolete by the early 2000s.
