One of the reasons why vinyl records were conquered was because it wasn’t a medium that could be easily transported.  Tape players had Walkmans, CD players had Discmans, and MP3s have i-Pods. No one wanted to be carrying some huge monstrosity around unless you’re a DJ.

When vinyls made a comeback, people tried to figure out different ways to make it players a little more portable, and Paul Smith decided to take a stab it.

The “Vinyl Killer” kind of looks like Mini Cooper Hot Wheel on my desk, but much cooler! It allows you to play your records with a needle in the car that coasts along the ridges, and pumping out the music via built-in speaker and amplifier.

Why can’t my Hot Wheels do that?

NIECEE’s TAKE AWAYS:

• Portable is the future. Because people are constantly on the go and have this need for media snacking on their phone when they’re not doing anything it only makes sense to move services to a mobile position.
