Lou Ottens Passed Away at Age 94: Here's How His Cassette Tape Helps Shape the Music Industry
Lou Ottens, the inventor of the cassette, has died at age 94.
Without him, there are no mixtapes, no playlists, no use for a pencil.
Ottens' invention is one of the innovations that changed how the music industry works. Without his cassette tape, music platforms today might have been different.
According to Engadget's latest report, the tech inventor started working on his cassette tape way back in the early 1960s. His invention was the solution to the large reel-to-reel tapes that provided high-quality sound.
