FIRST WALKMAN WENT ON SALE IN 1979

1979 - First walkman | Walkman, Retro gadgets, Sony walkman

The transistor radio was a technological marvel that put music
literally into consumers’ hands in the mid-1950s. It was cheap,
it was reliable and it was portable, but it could never even
approximate the sound quality of a record being played on
a home stereo. It was, however, the only technology available
to on-the-go music lovers until the Sony Corporation sparked
a revolution in personal electronics with the introduction of
the first personal stereo cassette player. A device as astonishing
on first encounter as the cellular phone or digital camera would
later be, the Sony Walkman went on sale for the very first time
on July 1, 1979.

Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind, one of the best-
selling novels of all time and the basis for a blockbuster
1939 movie, was published on June 30, 1936.

In 1926, Mitchell was forced to quit her job as a reporter
at the Atlanta Journal to recover from a series of physical
injuries. With too much time on her hands, Mitchell soon
grew restless. Working on a Remington typewriter, a gift
from her second husband, John R. Marsh, in their cramped 
one-bedroom apartment, Mitchell began telling the story
of an Atlanta belle named Pansy O’Hara.
