Betamax was released in '75, VHS in '76.

Uhm and what about Tapes for Data Storage? Pretty sure Mainframes existed in 1969 already.

I’m mean you had reel to reel. Which was a tape right, just not a cassette?

Umatic came out in 1971. But it was too expensive for most consumers. My brother in law had one because his family business was TV repair.
