I bet people in the 80's said stuff like this when music started coming out on digital rainbow mirrors (CDs).

Nope! The futuristic aspect was that they didn’t jam.

That was more the reaction to Sony mini-discs. Video players using large laser discs had been around for a while.

Mini-discs still feel futuristic for some reason.

Keanu Reeves also stored his malware on MDs in The Matrix. Most cyberpunk guy alive (also in Cyberpunk 2077).
