A story

+ +

+On the 28th of October, 2016 A.D., +I bought a cassette tape +at Lithe House. +

+

+On the evening of the same day, as I distractedly looked at the cassette +tape, on the bus home, wondering if the cassette deck at my house was still +functional, I looked up to see a stranger smiling at me. +

+

+He and I exchanged a few glances. Later, he invited me to his house. +

+

+Another evening, at his house, he passed a few more cassette tapes to me. +

+

+Will someone value the cassette tapes more than I do? +

+

+Out of curiosity, I am experimenting with a swap to see what value cassette tapes +have in a world where technology changes. There will be no money involved. +What would people offer in exchange for these tapes? +

+

+I didn't want to swap, until the cassette tapes started to gather dust +at my father's house. Will there be a better use for them? +

+

+This effort will last for forty-five days, beginning from 9th November, +2016 A.D. +

+

A few cassette tapes

+

+Details of the cassette tapes are available at +a shop at Carousell +

+ +

+An attempt to catalogue cassette tapes, that are located in Singapore, +is viewable at +a wiki +
